[PRR-talk] Roofs on steamers in the 1950s

[Ivan Abrams]

Nice shot, tired railroad. I learned to drive in 1965, 10 years later, and
began to explore the PRR around Pittsburgh. Pitcairn didn't look to much
different then--though it was in very diminished use by the mid-60s and
RS-3s were the hump engines. That part of the Turtle Creek Valley is very
green to this day.
