Here's another view of the station in Chambersburg...

I love these, and it doesn't seem to matter that I don't know the area.

Keep 'em coming!

Ok, here's the crew at the Hagerstown station - not a RPPC but an actual photo - managed to score a handful or so of these over the years before the nutters drove prices out of sight and budget.

Guys on a handcar in Shippensburg........

CVRR MoW car and crew.....

What is really funny here is that my Greate Grandfather was a fireman on the CVRR.

His son my Greate Uncle Frank (still alive today) was a boiler maker on the Pennsy.

I actually have a book on this railroad, a gift frm my loving wife.

The Westhaeffer book is close to being the only reference book on this RR. There are other small softbound pamphlet sized publications of various aspects of the CVRR, but little else is out there.

Been about 10 years since I've stopped in to visit that club......should go back someday soon.

Here's the night yard crew on #80 - H6a - somewhere between 1903 and 1919. Not a post card but a real photograph.

Another real photo - at the White Hill engine house.......

Excellent avatar Rufus. Looks like Martin Frobisher watching the Armada being driven past the Isle of Wight.

Here's one of the 2-3 pictures I have of CVRR cabooses. Looks to be an ND bobber...
