Album Info:Here are ten photos that first appeared in a 38-page cover article by Mr. Philip W. Klaus, Jr., entitled "The Newtown Square Branch." The article was first published in the Winter 1986-1987 issue of "The High Line" magazine, and then reprinted in a Special Edition of the same magazine during the Winter of 1991-1992. All of these photos were taken by Mr. Don Kehl; identifying data and captions are provided for each photo. The negatives for these photos came from the estate of Mr. Roy Healey, a railfan who lived in California. I purchased them in an eBay auction during February of 2018.
