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.
