I did ride one of the steam excursions from P & LE Station eastbound to some
point east or east and south of Pittsburgh in either 1976 or 1977. Were
these photos one of those trips? I remember the trip but not who sponsored
it. I will have to check at the railroad office on trips running out of
Pittsburgh. I have worked with CVSR for three years now but don't know too
much about the early history.. I really have to go to the office and check
out the archives. Thanks for the excellent photos.
