Historical Photos Page
One can find photos
of railroads of the past in black-and-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
us know!
-
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
4-6-2 K-4 no. 3874 looks as though she's undergoing some repairs
at the Crestline roundhouse.
-
PRR
no. 6785 4-8-2 M1a Mountain 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. Locomotive information provided by Matt
Brown.
