On the left are my only two railroad photos that have survived from my great trip to Europe in 1958 with a student group. The rest were destroyed by a women who was the mother of a girlfriend when I was in the Navy and my ship was berthed in Long Beach. We got called away overseas unexpectedly and her mom, a Pentecostal minister at a church in Bellflower, hauled the box that I was storing in her house to the city dump. The box contained all of my cameras and a lot of valuable historical photos, negatives, and film footage that will never be recovered. However these two photos survived - a steam train in Germany, somewhere along the Rhine, and an OEG streetcar in Heidelberg. The photo of the 0-6-0 switcher No. 7 was taken at the Dallas Union Terminal where it switched passenger cars in 1959 is followed by the remaining photos on the left side: The AT&SF in Denver, the Boston MTA in 1958, and the El Paso-to-Juarez streetcar. On the right side are electric lines in New Jersey in 1966 followed by two Manila steam locomotive photos from 1962.
