[PRCo] Re: West Penn 832

[Schneider Fred]

And the picture looks like the back side of Charleroi car house.    
Interesting thing to me is the leaves are off the trees indicating  
that it sat in Connellsville for quite a while in 1952 before  
migrating to the west.  Collection date is November 29, 1952 ... they  
waited until after Thanksgiving to move it.    I saw it in Charleroi  
March 31, 1953.
