Viewing Album:  PRR: Pennsy Pix via Mr. Wilson E. Jones (R)
 
By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:10/15/1945 - 1/31/1968
Album Info:Here are six original photos of Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives from the collection of the late Mr. Wilson E. Jones. The photographers' names, the locomotive road numbers, the exact dates, and the locations are provided when available. According to Douglas W. McIntyre, "He was a long-time member of a group known as the 'Railroadians of America.' Formed in the 1960's, they were dedicated railfans and historians who captured railroad history on film, and who wrote and published any number of books ~ including the well-known 'The Next Station Will Be ...' series. As the years passed and as group members died, their negatives were passed to another and then another until many of them ended up in the hands of Mr. Jones." I purchased all six photos in a like number of eBay auctions conducted by Mr. McIntyre on Sunday, 21 June 2020. * Restored Album *
