Viewing Album: PRR: Electrified Territory ~ June 1962
By:
Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:
6/18/1962 - 6/21/1962
Album Info:
Here are several original photos that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Northeast Corridor electrified territory during the third full week of June, 1962. My friend Thomas Harry Lantz (of Duncansville, PA) and I journeyed to Wilmington on the train, camping-out at my sister's apartment for the week. In the process, we spent a full day watching trains in North Philadelphia, Washington, and New York City. We then returned back to Altoona on a train, of course!
