Description: |
The Pennsylvania Railroad was a major northeastern rail system in Indiana and operated until 1968. This view shows Pennsylvania Railroad engines and cars loaded with coal. Workers can be seen leaning out of the doors to the engines and a group of men are on the track beside the freight cars loaded with coal. The buildings in the distance are probably a coal mine somewhere in Indiana. A slightly different view of the same event can be seen in PAN0235. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. The Interpositives are stored in PAN number order. |
