In the late 1940's and early 1950's, as a very young kid, I made many trips with my Grandmother from Atlantic City to/from Philadelphia. I remember watching the steam engines behind the Atlantic City Train Station on Arkansas Ave and distinctly remember features of the A/C station terminal and Broad Street elevated platform. I remember the exhaust gasses from the engine frequently blowing by the passanger car windows sometimes making it difficult to see out. I also have memories of the industrial landscape surrounding the rail line just outside Philadelphia including, what I then assumed to be "Hobos", huddled over burning barrels by the tracks. I have many memories of these trips.
Are there any references to pictures of the Atlantic City and North Broad Street stations including both the terminals and associated rail yards? It would be very pleasant to see these pictures and bring back almost sixty year old memories.
