(erielack) Pictures



Greetings From the Coalfields:

The Library of Congress is digitizing the records of the Historic American
Buildings Project.  While I was looking for possible shots of Jersey City as
a thread has been going about this lately, a search of the index turned up
three other stations which may be of interest. On the Erie side is a pair of
pictures - one of Callicoon and the other of Warsaw.  On the DL&W is a
picture of the Atlanta (NY) station.  NOTE:  These pictures are not yet
digitized, but the project is going along pretty quickly so you may want to
bookmark and keep checking the site as pictures are added rapidly.

FSA pictures are also on the LC website.  They include a lot of color
material from the1940s which is a wealth of information for steam era
modelers.  I downloaded a Jack Delano color photo of the coal dock at
Proviso in the winter of 1943 and use it for wallpaper on my computer.  The
FSA material is easily searchable.

LCs web address is http://lcweb.loc.gov/  It's easy to find what you want
from there.

work safe
