Location needs to be verified. If location is correct, this is Main Street prior to grade separation and the fence is Johns Manville plant. This is probably train #26, "The Asa Packer" which left Allentown at 4:16 PM and arrived at Manville at 5:39 PM. Second car appears to be a Pullman Standard Osgood Bradley "American Flyer" 1930s lightweight coach. Also note the heavyweight with railroad roof and skirts added for an attempt at semi-streamlining. The other railroads that added skirts to heavyweights also modified the roof. This is a sign of the LVRR. |
