Definitely has to be Looking outbound with hillside to our left and
valley to the right -- said that near the bottom below.
..
Heading the other direction -- inbound aka northbound -- there is a
Car Stop on the north edge of McKinley trestle; Morse is the Next Car
Stop north. To say it another way, Morse is the first Car Stop
after entering the first single track section heading south.
..
As Ed mentions it could be near where the PRCo double track ended
heading into the first PRCo single track section looking toward Morse
and beyond. This photo
http://206.103.49.193/pitts/htm/pitt129.htm is looking north so the
photographer would be standing somewhere behind 1710 in the P&CSR
looking toward us.
..
It could be standing at present McKinley siding looking south toward Bon
Air.
..
It could be south of Bon Air looking toward the curve toward Edgebrook.
..
It Could Even Be south of Edgebrook looking toward the curve toward
Reflectorville trestle.
..
It Could Be.......

I seem to recall the Morse Steps stop to be immediately preceding the McKinley Park Trestle outbound. So this photo might be on the future site of McKinley Park Siding looking inbound to the curve into Bon Air Siding to be more precise?
