Album Info:
Here are 30 duplicate 35mm color slides of Pennsylvania Railroad steam freight locomotives. The photographer's name, the locomotive number(s), the date, and the location are cited when they're specified on the slide mount. I purchased most of these slides from one merchant during the course of three eBay auctions during late November, 2018.

Beyond them are an outbound freight train (moving from right to left), the Susquehanna River (flowing from left to right), and David's Mountain standing in the distance. Note the Dude in the Doghouse!
