One is at the Railroad Museum of PA in Strasburg. It's a framed print hanging on the second floor of the main building (entrance) near the elevator. I don't know that it's ever been printed in a book. There's another photo of 1208 going thru Tyrone on Oct 8, 1941 that's been published in Eric Hirsimaki's book, Black Gold Black Diamonds Vol. 1, pg 114.</span><br clear="none" id="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Bob Bayles</div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><div id="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423yqtfd45159" class="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423yqt2079473203"><br clear="none"><blockquote type="cite">On Jul 5, 2025, at 16:31, NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></blockquote></div></div><div id="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423yqtfd58611" class="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423yqt2079473203"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:16px;" class="ydpf5354ddayiv6477370423ydp6b0bd539yahoo-style-wrap"><div></div>
