I'll have to look at this in the track sketch books when I get a free moment
or two.

Ed!
	Just checked my photos and I have an excellent  *Latter--Day*  (1952)
photo which shows Tylerdale siding   ---   appears to be taken from the
platform where the ice-scraper was attached to the trolley wheel.   The
lead into the ladder track to barn tracks comes from the northbound
(Pittsburgh-bound) track of the siding and this crosses the southbound
track to get to the barn leads.
	But this poses a problem because we don't see the curved track crossing
another track in this eBay photo.
	.......How-some-ever, this raises the question of whether or not Tylerdale
was a passing siding when originally constructed by W&C  AND  If  NOT  --
then When was Tylerdale made into a siding?   Could it have been post--1917
when the 3700s were delivered?
	If the last is a Yes answer, then the location of this photo could very
well be Tylerdale!

	This a Bill Gwinn copy of an old photo.  I've never given much thought to
its location, but it is NOT at Washington Jct.!  It looks more like the
Tylerdale barn lead than some of the other suggestions, but that is
problematic, too.

	To me this doesn't quite look like Washington Junct. like the seller
states.   1)Wasn't the Wash. line double tracked for a short area as it
joined the Charleroi line? 2) If this is Wash. Junc., why does the car seem
to be headed for Charleroi. I can't see Mine#3(if this is Wash. Junc.)
behind the car. I could be wrong. Any ideas?
