  Also a new book by Leroy King entitled PENNSYLVANIA TROLLEYS IN
COLOR VOL.IV. This is a continuation of the 3-part series by Bill
Volkmer. Fred III was kind enough to critique these books in a past
post.
  On page 127 bottom of Vol. IV, there is a photo of 1706 at Simmons
Loop. No date on the caption, but the tracks to Charleroi are still
visible. Looks as if the inbound overhead is still there also.
  These are the types of photos I'm looking for. Would love to see 
this view from the opposite angle. 
  On page 126 bottom of same book shows 1701(destroyed at Homewood 
fire?) at what the caption states is McChane. Would the car be on a
downgrade at this point??? How much of a grade was this?
  Page 127 middle shows  1707 at Paris Lake stop. I've never heard
of this stop. Where was this located?

  For those of you who do not have the book, my appologies.
