Train images captured on slides by John Hennessey

John Hennessey, a resident of Berks County, PA, captured images of engines, rolling stock, and train structures in the 1980s while visiting various sites (mostly in Pennsylvania). This gallery represents a very small portion of those slides. The captions reflect the notes he wrote on each slide image.
