Hi Jerry!

Yes, could see Kennywood in the original.       But as I said below, 
this paint scheme didn't appear until Kennywood was closed to 
TrolleyCars  --  2 to 3 years after Kennywood was unavailable to 
TrolleyCars.       Railfans often use non-location signs  --  even out 
of state roll signs.       The Kennywood sign   *_suggests_*   that the 
photo is the fan trip I mention  --  but then a lone fan could persuade 
an op to change the sign for the photo on a regular revenue run.
