[PRCo] Stumble Upon Photos (Section 2)

Mon Aug 12 23:04:15 EDT 2013

Dwight, 

Photo 822 is indeed the B&O Daylight Speedliner train 22, or possibly it's use as a Pittsburgh-McKeesport commuter train during layovers between its Pittsburgh-Baltimore runs.  In the mid-1960's, the B&O Daylight Speedliner train moved from the P&LE station to the B&O station, and from late afternoon to early the next morning the layover Daylight Speedliner equipment (led by diner/combine units 1960 or 1961, but without the dining service) was used on the local commuter trains. 

Attached is a photo I took of the Daylight Speedliner (led by 1960) in the B&O station on10/6/65 when its equipment was being used for a Pittsburgh-McKeesport train.

822/5 is NOT commuter train.  It is the Daylight Speedliner, a through train Pgh to Baltimore, Train #22.  One of the RDCs had a dinette/bar section. 

1450 was on PERC day after abandonment trip 21 September 1958.

That first one might not be Pittsburgh. 

817/1 is Drake Loop construction 

818/2 S. Hills Jct.  Looks like the Ollie Miller photo. 

819 looks like the Vigrass pix at S. Hills Jct. 

820/3 is at Castle Shannon.  And assume everyone figures out that 1450 is at Kennywood.   

822/5 is B&O commuter train at Pgh station on Grant St.  Wonder if this came from PAT files? 

First Ave. 

824/7 is Herron Hill car barn 

825 is Federal St. north side - PRR bridge in background.  Think I've seen this on Pgh digital history site. 

826 - west view park to right. 

Hmmm.  And from a govt. agency at that.
