Hello, it's been a while.

For the past few years I've been on the lookout for photos of Pennsylvania steam pulling the Broadway Limited during the "Fleet of Modernism" era between 1938 and 1948. Thanks to a certain model importing company bearing the name of the train, a quick Google search mostly yields photos of the models, and not of the actual train. After scouring a wide variety of websites and even Joe Welsh's book on the Broadway, I was only able to find a small handful of what I am looking for. I never thought that finding photos of such a well-known passenger train would be so difficult. If anyone has photos in their collection or knows someone who has photos of steam pulling the Broadway during the time period I specified, please let me know.

Thanks,

Eli

In my opinion you will not find any such photos posted here on the OGR Forum, since they would all be from books, and on-line history sites, thus being all copywrited.

You might try researching the PRR Historical and Technical Society.

Too many possibilities of copyright violation.  Go online and do some research and make sure you don't post any photos here on the forum that you have not taken.  If you have taken the photos, then they belong to you and you can post them but you must state that you took the photos.  I am closing this thread....just don't want to deal with potentially having to deal with copyright.
