Hello,

I am looking for photos of Susquehanna Railroad cars used in service from the 1890s - 1930s. Does anyone have photos of these cars? I am particularly looking for information about the type of passenger cars used on the Hanford Branch.

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

In answer to one of the questions I raised in the first post, I came across a reference in Bob Mohowski's NYS&W book about the use of Brill motorcars on the Hanford Branch.

The information about the cars is on page 70 to 71 at http://books.google.com/books?id=c-8Vcw ... ll&f=false

Carstens has an excellent book featuring many great photos from the period you're asking about. I learned a lot about the Hanford Branch operations, and the photos are crisp and clear.
