Builders photos

[Canondale61]

I have a picture of my grandfather standing looking at a steam locomotive(S1), taken the late 1930's. He was a sign painter and he was getting ready to travel with the loco to the NY world fair were he would pinstripe it for the PRR. My father got a copy of this picture from the Altoona RR museum that may be a place to start. You could scan the pics then post them here someone may have some information for you. I believe the name on the photos was the "official" photographer for the PRR in ALtoona.

I think the only way anyone's going to be able to help you is if you can scan the pics and post them on here - a description is unlikely to cut it!

Altoona was the PRR's main locomotive works, so it would make sense for them to be PRR Locos.

  Someone gave me some original mounted photographs from what lools like the turn of the century. Two of them look like original builders photos of early PRR locos.   On the back is a stamp that identifies the photographer as H.G. Colyer, Altoona, P.A..

  Can anyone give me any info on these..... Thanks    Jerry
