I was talking to Railroad Avenue Enterprises last week about an order the 
shop I work for was placing and I requested his latest trolley photo list.  If 
you search out West Penn and Pittsburgh photos as I do you have probably 
reviewed their lists over the years and purchased from them.  Good photos and not all 
that expensive.

There are about 27,000 photos of railroads and traction currently listed, and 
they just acquired over 30,000 new negs from 2 collections (not mentioned 
whose) that include
Pittsburgh and West Penn.  In total he has about 70,000 negs.    It will take 
well over a year at the current pace to organize, list and make available 
these new photos, but it is something we can look forward to.

P.S.  Some nice shots in the new 2004 calendar from the museum.  Since Fred 
S. and I are the same age I hope 832 does get running before he dies (his 
request) so he can operate it and I'll ride it.  I think 839 from Wheeling Traction 
(Co-Op 39) is making progress at Seashore, another curved side car.  After 
hearing it was almost done, I later heard the body is finished, interior being 
worked on, and proper trucks under it.
