And this until at least 1939 // 1940 so the Palm Garden Trestle was 
exclusive domain of the 42 Dormont!       Have a photo of 4843 on that 
bridge on 1938-07 so it predates the ramp at Dawn Jct although it  *may* 
be under construction.       NO  handrailings and  NO  spacing signals  
--  looks good.       John Brinckman PRCo_#36 photo.
