You Are Both Correct. The picture showed Black Diamond Jct with
1646 backed down Donora and 1614 coming in from Charleroi and a regular
17xx-I southbound to Charleroi -- This Photo was from the Joint PERC /
Akron charter.
The above mentioned photo was *-used-* by Bill Vigrass in his article
on the Great Circle Tour which started in Mt.Lebanon and worked
clockwise through WP and back to Charleroi interurban on Regularly
Scheduled Vehicles.
Ed -- If You Think Of It When You Are Totally Bored -- anyway to
trace the possibility of a PCC heading up the WP Trafford Line?
You mentioned that you had heard rumors of such.
