By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:10/9/1950 - 10/9/1950
Album Info:Here are six original photos by an unidentified photographer who captured the odd odyssey of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #39, an L-1S (2-8-0) "Mikado." It's "odd" in that a freight locomotive is pulling two passenger cars! The date and the locations are approximations. The negatives for these photos came from the estate of Mr. Roy Healey, a railfan who lived in California. I purchased them in an eBay auction during February of 2018.
