It's May 1953--I have the exact date at home if you want/need it.  The occasion was the movement of WP 832 from Charleroi Car House to Ingram Car House.  That is one of the three high trestles just north of Charleroi between it and Black Diamond Junction--which one, I don't know.

I was on that trip--also on the one that moved 832 from Ingram to Arden, where it may run again as early as next year.

How many of these folks can anyone identify?  That looks like the back of Bob Brown (RIP) second from the left.
