Miscellaneous Photos
- The above photo and the excerpts of the letter below were sent to the
Society, this is an example
- as to how PRR material, never before seen, finds its way to our
Society's archives and Website.
- All are welcome to contribute. We always appreciate any and all
contributions.
The letters have been edited for content.
Bill,
...While scrounging through 50 years of old photos I found the attached
one.
My father, Wilbur C. Garner, Sr. took the picture somewhere
along the Pennsy rails near Baltimore.
Obviously it is of the Kennedy Funeral Train carrying President John Kennedy.
My Dad told me that the photo was for me. I thought the Society would like to
have an electronic copy.
Your Fellow Member,
W. C. "Will" Garner, Jr.
- Will,
...This is Robert Kennedy's funeral in June of 1968. Pictured on the rear
platform are Robert's children along with (I believe) Ethel Kennedy, his
widow, whose head is turned away from the camera. Bobby was taken to
Washington DC from NYC on the Penn Central 120 (former PRR and now restored PRR)
- after his funeral so he could be laid
at rest next to his brother...
Best,
Bill Morlitz
