Viewing Album:  PC: Middletown, PA ~ August 1972
 
By:Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:8/15/1972 - 8/15/1972
Album Info:Here are four original photos that I took of Penn Central railroad trains and property near Middletown, Pennsylvania, during August of 1972. Not so many trains in this album . . . mostly "artsy" stuff. They are presented in the order that they were taken. All of them were taken at the "flyover" where the passenger tracks cross over the freight tracks near the intersection of West Harrisburg Pike (i.e., State Route 230) and White House Lane.
