EXCELLENT   detective work.       Railfans Often use Out Of Town 
dustynation signs and this was my first impression  --  had never seen 
anything like this on PRCo!       Railfans often like to purposely 
confuse destination signs as well like using East End signs in West End  
--  have seen many such photos.       PITTSBURGH   is displayed on JTC 
PCC 408 when PERC members went there for an excursion.

I like your reasoning about St.Clair as a destination and your guess of 
a location follows.

I said 62 mainly because of the single track  --  homes are too tightly 
grouped for 62.       Ed has pretty much cleared this up.

You have been hanging around PRCo RailFans Too Long, Mark!!!!!!!
