I would like to use 4th image from top (30th St station) for a publication. If permissible, who would I credit?
thank.
I must say how much I have appreciated and discovered by looking at these pics and similar ones on this Forum which have dealt with the NYC elevated freight railroad.
I guess many know of elevated commuter railroads but this one has been of especial interest to me as I am more interested in freight operations that passenger.
Thanks a million to the posters.
