Vintage Pa Lackawanna Reading RR Water Tower Train Photo 3x3.5 B&W Gelatin Orig
Original vintage black-and-white gelatin-silver photograph on paper depicting a railroad water tower beside a steam-era line.
Viewed from a dirt road in the foreground, the tall wooden water tank rises on heavy timber supports at left, with smoke drifting upward and a line of utility poles receding into the distance along the right side of the image.
Behind the tower, a steam locomotive and freight cars move along an elevated embankment, while small houses, bare trees, and an underpass with automobiles frame the background landscape.
The reverse carries printed credit lines for \"Pennsylvania, Lackawanna & Reading R. R. Co.\" and \"Russell Baum, Brass Hat, Box 251, Sunbury, Penna.,\" along with a faint handwritten pencil caption reading \"Pennsy Northline\" and the small stamped number \"120.\"
The photograph is unmounted and unframed and is offered as a single original print only, with any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
Actual Measurements: ~3\" x 3.5\".
Condition: Original vintage black-and-white gelatin-silver photograph with typical light handling and storage wear from age and use. Image surface shows mild overall age toning with faint surface scuffs, small marks, and scattered tiny specks, but the emulsion remains intact without paper loss. A diagonal crease runs from the upper right area toward the center, with softening and a small bump at the upper right corner and minor edge wear elsewhere. The reverse carries the same crease along with light handling marks and printed credit information for Pennsylvania, Lackawanna & Reading R. R. Co. and Russell Baum, plus a handwritten pencil caption and small stamped number 120. The photograph is offered as a single loose unmounted and unframed original print only, with any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
