Hi,
I just opened a box of manuals from my uncle (who died several years ago) who worked with the PRR in Harrisburg, PA. I feel I have hit a treasure trove of neat stuff and wanted to share it with you.
I think the air brake manuals would be relevant to the narrow gauge. Can anyone tell me which manuals might be relavent to the C&TS/D&S ?
I have the following manuals:
