Album Info:Here are 14 portraits of Pennsylvania Railroad miscellanea: electric locomotives, "Doodlebugs," commuter cars, and passenger cars. Most of them come from 2.75" x 4.50" photos that I purchased in a single eBay auction conducted by Mr. Nathan Dahms on Tuesday, 19 January 2021. All of the passenger car photos are gifts from Nathan, received on 22 December 2022. The photographer's name, the road number(s), the exact date, and the location are cited when available.
