Annual Report Color Cover ~ 1959 |
| Description: |
Here is the front cover of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's 113th Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 December 1959. Issued: 24 February 1960. Cover Picture: "Through the Night." The photographer and the actual location are not identified. Photo Caption: "The speed and precision of modern railroading are caught in this impressionistic photograph ~ as the lighted coaches and red 'tail-light' markers of a passing train etch its path below a signal bridge along the Pennsylvania's main line between New York and Washington. The short, bright streak at the bottom of the picture and the two streaks at the lower left are the interrupted tracings of the headlight and windows of an oncoming train which were temporarily blotted out by the train on the near track. The picture was taken in a June twilight, using an f/3.5 lens aperture and a time exposure sufficiently long to allow the speeding train to enter and leave the picture." |
