	Given  --  various railfans taking photos from a similar location.

	I have purchased photos from several different sources that look
identical  --  very difficult to tell any difference at all!

	Have one of 3556 in Canonsburg in winter with a woman standing opposite
the car from several different sources  --  expression on the woman
seems identical in each and everyone and so is the angle, so similar
that it seems to be the same negative!!

	Also have photos of 1630 when new at Highland Car House from several
different sources and they all look identical as well!   Twould be nice
to have the thumbnail catalogs on the internet so a preview of the photo
might be made before purchase.   Difficult to purchase photos from a
description only as despcriptions vary  IF  a description is given
beyond the car--#.

	And the reason I posted the photo with a line-up of people is just
that  --  it shows those in attendance.   Nice to  *see*  some of the
railfans from years ago and those interested in preserving WP--832!
