[PRCo] Stumble Upon Photos (Section 2)

Nice shot of that equipment, but if it were taken in 1965 it was the FORMER 
Daylight Speedliner 's equipment.  The Speedliner came off, AIR, in January 
1963 (I'm not where my records are and am going from memory).  I rode the 
last EB and WB runs between Pgh and Connellsville.  I think the switchover 
from P&LE to B&O stations came either in late 1959 or early 60s, as I have 
shot of the Speedliner in the P&LE station in the summer of 1959.
