Historical documents.
Contributed manuscripts, photographs and research files preserved by the Princeton Railroad Museum and made available in their supplied form.
About this collection
These files are presented as contributed historical research materials. Original wording, formatting and filenames have been preserved. Some documents contain overlapping versions, historical interpretations, dates or terminology that have not been independently reconciled.
Publication in this archive makes the supplied record available for research; it does not make every statement museum-authored interpretation. For polished museum narratives, see the Railroad Journal and collection stories.
