Album Info:Here are 14 original photos of Pennsylvania Railroad steam-powered excursion trains. The photographer's name(s), the dates, and the locations are not recorded for most of these photos.. The negatives for these photos came from the estate of Mr. Roy Healey, a railfan who lived in California. I purchased all but two of them in a single eBay auction during February of 2018.
