Dates:1/24/1955 - 1/24/1955
Album Info:Here are 16 duplicate 35mm color slides featuring Pennsylvania Railroad "Decapod" (2-10-0) steam locomotives. Other than one locomotive number printed on some of these slides, none of them provides any information as to the photographer's name, the date, or the location. Nonethemess, most of them appear to have been taken at points along the PRR's Elmira Branch during 1955 or so. I purchased most of these slides in a single eBay auction on Thursday, 29 November 2018.
