Was visiting a friend of mine tonight (my age, actually younger) who had a 
few items from... I believe it was Larry Slough's estate. Anyway, in his 
copy of the PRMA West Penn book was a letter from 1971 signed by Ed 
Lybarger thanking him for the photos he submitted for inclusion in the 
book. Also there were 3 or 4 pages of a handwritten note from someone 
about the final years of the West Penn; I didn't find the last page, so I 
have no idea who wrote it, but one of the things in the note (which I had 
trouble reading) seemed to say 800-series cars were detrucked and taken to 
New Castle to be used as homes. Don't go out looking for them, (I'm 
certainly not going to) it's just something interesting to share.
