Thank You, Bill.       I remember you referencing this picture 
before.       Photographer is looking northwest toward Coopersdale // 
Morrellville, the TrolleyCar bridge in the foreground are passing over 
Stony Creek, and the map indicates that the PRR crosses at the 
confluence of Conemaugh and Stony Creek, and Iron crossing to Roosevelt 
just short of Broad might be the bridge we see in the distance.       
Does this sound correct?
