Vintage 1946 Pa Lackawanna & Reading RR Station Photo B&W Gelatin Orig
Original vintage 1946 black-and-white gelatin-silver press photograph on paper depicting a passenger train stopped at a small riverside railroad station platform.
The view looks down the track beside a flowing river at left as the rear car of a multi-car passenger train stands at the depot, with men in suits and work clothes gathered along the ballast and platform area around the open vestibule door.
At right, the wood-frame station building with large multi-pane windows, a projecting bay office, and an overhanging roof fills the foreground, where a baggage cart, benches, and a small sign reading \"MOTOR COACH STOP READING\" are visible beside a man at the ticket window.
On the reverse, printed credit lines read \"Pennsylvania, Lackawanna & Reading R. R. Co.\" and \"Russell Baum, Brass Hat, Box 251, Sunbury, Penna.,\" with the sequence number \"#135\" and a rubber-stamped date \"OCT 1946\"; a light pencil notation identifies the location as \"Williams Valley RR.\"
The photograph is offered as a single loose unmounted and unframed original print only, with any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
Actual Measurements: 3.5\" x 5.75\" (approximately 4\" x 6\").
