Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:
10/24/1950 - 10/24/1950
Album Info:
Here are 20 photos of Pennsylvania Railroad diesels, electrics, and rolling stock. All of them come from the estate of Mr. Henry C. Westenberger, an avid collector of railroad memorabilia. A lifelong resident of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, he was also a member of the Lebanon County Historical Society. I purchased all of these items in a single eBay auction on Sunday, 8 July 2018. * Repaired Album *
