PRR Spring Meadow Passenger Shelter, 1934         
Spring Meadow. Here is an image that was taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Spring Meadow Passenger Shelter just North of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 24 November 1934. In this context, a group of local officials inspect the scene where Elmo Noakes killed himself after murdering his niece, Winifred Pierce. A week or so before, the two of them had smothered his three children near Carlisle, Pennsylvania, thereafter hitchhiking to Altoona and ending-up here in Spring Meadow. It's a sad, sad tale of madness.
