Here is a photo of the 3rd coach on display in
E-Pgh., apparently CTA 292.

Mr.Brannon;  I don't know the extent of the operation
but I have seen more clear pictures which reveal this
is part of a wye formation.  It probably did not
operate far.

There was a third coach in Pgh but it was just on display.
This also at Westinghouse when 1600 arrived.  I am not
familiar with coaches but guess it a Twin.  Must have been
Sept or later 1945;  1600 was mounted high and had
all compartments open for inspection, including under
the car.  If I can find a picture I shall post it.
