HI!
	They are there, John - difficult to see - I can see the original 4-rails,
2-tracks.   Taken with 135mm telephoto.   Even necessary to look twice to
see tracks in the foreground.
	This is taken during  ({[pat]})  era and probably 1966--1970 time frame.
	KENNYWOOD  sign???????????   Operators simply rolled it off-route when
returning to the basrn and were either in between route and  CAR  HOUSE  or
thought this was good enough and left it there.

	If that's Grant behind the car where are the straight-through double
tracks that connected northbound to east on Liberty and southbound from
Liberty/11th?   Must've had'em out at the dry cleaners that day.
