Viewing Album: PRR: Byerly ~> "Electric Railroading"
By:
Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:
1/20/1946 - 1/20/1946
Album Info:
Here are 36 duplicate 35mm color slides of Pennsylvania and Penn Central electric locomotives. All of these photos are from the collection of Mr. Fred Byerly, and come from a color slide set entitled "Electric Railroading ~ Penn Central and Pennsylvania Lines" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (868). The locomotive number(s), the date, and the location are cited when they're specified on a slide. I purchased 17 of these slides in a single eBay auction on Thursday, 20 September 2018; the other 19 were purchased directly from Mr. Rick Showalter on Thursday, 03 February 2022.
