Reply to "Weekend Photo Fun 11-7-19-??"

It is early morning in late 1949 and a doodlebug is heading out a branch line with only a few passengers.  The Pennsy would have abandon this route by now if it were not for the U.S. Mail contract.  Like nearly all Pennsy gas-electrics, this doodlebug, a Brill 660, was upgraded with a diesel engine after the 1940 Cuyahoga Falls collision that killed 46 people.  35 of the passengers died due to the gasoline fire that resulted from the collision.
