June 1971 photos from inside Enola Yard

Latest update 10-09-2009

My Uncle worked in Enola Yard for Pennsy and then Penn Central and then Conrail. Several times on his off-days, he took me inside the yards or the Harrisburg depot where he had worked and let me see the yards from inside. Sometimes I was not allowed out of the Pick-up truck and others I was. These photos were taken when I was 15. I had been allowed to use Mom & Dad's Kodak Instamatic camera. The quality of many shots are not good, but the angles are unusual. I hope you enjoy them.
