Three more West Penn photos. I think one is at Greensburg Station, but don’t have an idea avbout the other two locations. Help!
At Connosvile Station and enterring Greensburg Station from Pennsylvania Avenue
Two at the main yard and shops at Connosville. I must thank Ed Lyberger for corredct locations of many of my West Penn photos. A third of a sweeper will be posted on the Work Equipment thread…

Two of Cincinnati curved-side lightweight 832 at the mid-way passing siding on the South Connelsville Line, and a color photo sent me (his photo) by Richard Allman (my teacher regarding shading in photo-editing) to show that you can ride this car at the Werstern Pennsylvasnia Arden Trolley Museum. One of only two Cincinnati-curved-sides preserved. The other is at Seasshore, and RC has a thread here (two years ago?) concerning that beautiful streatcar.
639 (from Wheeling W. Va., but still part of the West Penn System) is a mainstay of Seashore’s daily operations. It came to the Museum as a stripped car body, having served a druggist in Ohio for some years after retirement.
Thanks, RC. Can you copy one of your thread’s photos and past it here. Or authorise me to do it? A direct comparison of the two cars would be interesting, and I’d like you to discuss the truck-motors issues in detail, if you can. Not sure if 832 does have originals, also.
639 came to the museum without trucks or motors. It now has a set of Standard C-35P trucks from a Boston type 5. The Westinghouse 508A motors are of a type that was widely used (Seashore’s Boston 5821 has GE 264As in the same style truck frame). I’m not sure off-hand if they’re the same type used in Wheeling. 639 (or 39) was 5’2-1/2" gauge, though some of its sisters were standard gauge.
