Permanent ID:

Date:

1939 – 1941

Image Description:

Volume 7 [formerly Volume 103]:
The volume appears to have been compiled in 1949 although the date range of the photographs is 1939 to approximately 1941 as numerous annotations indicate photos were taken by Charles Martini “prior to World War II.” The volume consists mostly of photographs of PTC employees in and out of uniform, including conductors, motormen, yardmen, shopmen, yardmasters, special officers, and clerks, typists, or stenographers (all of the latter women). One annotation indicates the subject “disappeared prior to Selective Service World War II leaving no trail. Returned after it was over claimed he was in merchant marine.” Another indicates “Deceased prior to 1949” so clearly the album was compiled and annotated years after the photographs were taken.
