A wonderful surprise inside a small envelope...

While looking through the Chapter's archives, I came upon a small envelope. Inside was a letter, business card, and a punched New York Central passenger cash fare receipt. Not much at first until I read the letter.

Then I realized this was a really neat piece of Rochester railroad and Rochester Chapter NRHS history.   A last ride on a last New York Central train...  A souvenir saved...   A nearly by-gone form of communication in a type written letter...   An experience shared between friends (A. Whitman Crittenden & Wallace Bradley) now preserved and left to share with us...

 

 

The Rochester Chapter NRHS is always looking for new people to help us with our archives and to see what other discoveries there are to find and share.   Interested?   Please contact us or come to one of our monthly membership meetings.
