By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:10/13/1950 - 10/13/1950
Album Info:Here are two original B&W photos taken by unidentified photographers of postwar demonstration trains during their visits to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in late 1947. 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. Also included are two related duplicate 35mm color slides.
