Subject: [PRCo] Aerial photo of PTM
----------------------------------------------
<<--Here is another image that ...   Shows the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum.-->>

<<__North Main Street goes across the old PRR and over Chartiers Creek (virtually invisible) and under I-70 at the right edge of the picture.   You can see the large parking lot for the Thepitt factory.  Adjacent to the parking lot is our east site loop.   It is not a complete circle like a ball .. its flat on the southwest or parking lot side.-->>

<<--To the left of the parking lot you can see the long, narrow (ration about 1:4) trolley display building with a silver roof.   It will be the operating carbarn eventually.   The picture was taken before the tracks were in to the east end of the building from the mainline.-->>
----------------------------------------------

Is that a wye to the left of the silver carbarn?  Will the track also loop this barn?  Will the street / city / small town operation be here?

----------------------------------------------
<<--The Fair Grounds, with its race track, is at the left side of the map.-->>
----------------------------------------------

Do attendees park at Thepitt and ride the trolley to the Fair?

----------------------------------------------
<<--To the left edge you see a road going up to Arden Mines from Main Street, and next to it (to it's right) you see the trolley line.-->>
----------------------------------------------

I see a loop at the upper left with stub track don't I.  Is this the outer end of the line?
