[PRCo] Re: WEST PENN 200 seties

[Fred Schneider]

No question where it is ... on Martin line on the bridge immediately south of
Brownsville Jumction.   Detail is too small to tell which #212 it is ... I
would need to see the truck side frames, or an air-compressor, or a brake
valve.  Late in 1949 2nd 212 was retired and 204 was pulled out of storage and
renumbered 3rd 212.  It ran until about January 1950 ... once Brownsville quite
there were spare cars in Uniontown to handle the Saturday traffic.

Good pictures of that car on that bridge are relatively common.  I would
suggest not bidding on this rather blotchy print.
