[PRCo] Re: Low-floor train

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Long,
Click on the photo description.  This is what it says:

"Irene Kaufmann Settlement leaving for a Boat Trip" on July-7-1927.
This is an outreach of the Jewish Community.
<http://www.jewishhistoryhhc.org/timeline.aspx#074c4a29-1921-4827-8b4d-3b9d1fb46da1>

It is a charter for the group.

The ad on the back of the car is interesting:

"Odd Fellows Orphans Picnic, West View, Sat, July-30."

>Since this was on Centre Avenue, presumably the train was operating on Rt. 82.  That route would seem to be a likely candidate for train operation. Since the pax in the train do not appear to be members of the settlement, I assume it is a service train and not a charter for the kids.
