“Continuing a Legacy: Photographing the Pennsylvania Railroad” will be the subject of a lecture produced by Michael Froio of Williamstown, NJ shown to Harrisburg Chapter National Railway Historical Society on March 14 at Hoss’s Restaurant, 743 Wertzville Rd., Enola, PA.  Business meeting and speaker will begin at 7:00 PM with a meal available as early as 5 PM.  Dinner and meeting are open to the public.

 

Photographer Michael Froio’s talk will be about the legacy of imagery left behind by the Pennsylvania Railroad and how this visual ephemera ties into his methodology of interpreting the surviving infrastructure and landscape along the former Pennsylvania Railroad, making contemporary views inspired by historical materials.
 

Harrisburg Chapter, one of over 135 chapters of the National Railway Historical Society, is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to studying railroad history and preserving significant local railroad artifacts.  Major projects include: maintaining Pennsylvania’s official electric locomotive (GG-1 # 4859), and preserving and operating Harris Tower Railroad Museum.
