I do have some. I am lookig for the Conductor's hat badge from the PRR. Someone in the family got rid of my great grandfather's uniform, but I do have his hat. He retired from the PRR in 1960. I do have his letter and certificate of retirement. I also have a conductor's jacket from the PC. It has it's buttons and lapel pins on it. I also have my grand father's PC hat with the conductor's badge, and by great uncle's phase 1 Amtrak hat and trainman's badge. I have old BRRT union pins and a union roster from 1970. I also have some PRR conductor's lapel pins.

I have a PRR photp of my great grandfather and the his train crew taken by a PRR K4s. I do not know tha date or location, but it was taken at a station. The locomotive was also clean and shiny.

I also have a picture of him and a co-worker taken in 1923 by a wooden PRR caboose.

My great uncle is the only one still living. He is in his mid 80's. As he finds things he sends them to me.

I do have lots of child hood memorie of my grandfather taking us to the Buckeye Yard in Columbus, OH. We got to ride the switchers, and watch the hump yard and go into the control tower and watch them push buttons the aligned the switches to allow car classification and train make up as each car was pushed over the hump.

The NW was partially owned by the PRR. I do not know the timeframe when the PRR gave up it's stake in the NW. I did not like the Southern merging w/NW, nor did I like the SP being taken over by UP.

My father inlaw is also a train nut, and has lots of stuff, like steam whistles and air horns, crossing gates, semaphores, harp switch stands, tons of dining car place settings, and he even has a Santa Fe caboose. I want a freight car as well.
