Album Info:Here are eight original photos taken by an unidentified photographer of Pennsylvania Railroad ferries and ferry terminals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Friday, 26 October 1951. The negatives for these photos came from the estate of Mr. Roy Healey, a railfan who lived in California. I purchased all of them in a single eBay auction on 12 February 2018. Also included are two other depictions of Pennsy Philly Ferries.
