Yesterday (Tuesday, April 22, 2025), I was a guest at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I paid my first visit to the museum almost 45 years ago. At the time I was dismayed that the DD1 electric was stored at the back of the museum where it was inhabited by pigeons. Today, it is positioned out in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesteday’s event was attended by various dignitaries, Friends of the Museum, members of the public, and guests. Museum Director Pat Morrison presided over the event. To mark 50 years, the bell on Pennsylvania Railroad 4-4-2 7002 was rung, speeches were made, a ribbon was cut, and a band played (although not all at the same moment.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder what the museum will be like in 2075?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos using my FujiFilm XT1 with 16-55mm Fujinon lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
