Here you can find photos of railroads of the past in black
& white, unless otherwise noted. Note, this does NOT include Conrail
or any other recent fallen flag. This photo gallery mainly includes
railroads such as pre-NS era, N&W in the steam days, PRR, and so on.
If anyone has any photos they have that they would like to contribute to this
gallery, please let me
know!! Comments, questions, suggestions? E-mail
me.
C&O
2-8-4 Kanawha no. 2701 is sitting at the Marion Union Station, Marion, Ohio,
possibly in the '40s.
Overhead view of the PRR
Crestline roundhouse area in 1947. Crestline, Ohio.
Erie PA-1 no. 732
is the lead engine of a set of A-B-B-B-A set of units leading a freight by the
AC Tower and Marion Union Station. For those of you who have visited
Marion before, notice that the signal bridge is still standing.
Erie E8A no. 846
and a sister E8A leading a passenger train into Marion. Photo was
taken from AC Tower. Also, notice the track closest to the tower is still
in place.
Lake Superior
& Ishpeming 2-8-0 no. 34 at an unknown roundhouse location. This
is an interesting photo, as it is a photo of the Western Maryland Scenic's no.
734 still in LS&I service. This engine is also the direct sister engine to
HVSR no. 33 (ex-LS&I no. 33).
N&W 2-8-8-2
no. 2043 in Norwood, Ohio. A "wig-wag"-type crossing signal is in
operation in this photo.
A N&W steamer is sitting under
the coaling tower at Portsmouth Yard, Portsmouth, Ohio. It looks as
though a man is shoveling up some of the excess coal on the ground.
Two NYC steamers (one is no. 1968) sit at the coaling
area at the NYC Galion Yard, Galion, Ohio. This yard is now completely
gone. Only a couple tracks of the yard are still there that CSXT uses to
store engines and various MOW rolling stock. Conrail used to do this as
well prior to the split.
PRR K-4 no. 3874
looks as though she's undergoing some repairs at the Crestline roundhouse.
PRR no. 6785
(what type is this?) is crossing the diamonds at the Crestline Station.
The station is now completely gone, the tracks have been torn-up/relocated, and
the signals are now all gone. The track to the left (from cab
point-of-view) is the one that has been moved about 100 feet over to make room
for the interchange track for CSXT traffic.
