Old Family Photos

These 3 pictures were taken at Rochester Junction Station on the Lehigh Valley Railroad in the late 1950's.
My grandmother (she died at 105) came to visit us by train from southern New Jersey.
At the time, we lived on the other side of the county, so this was a long drive from our house.
The little guy in the center photo is me.
I now live 6 miles from this location.
The railroad is now a rail trail and I rode my bike past this very spot this afternoon at age 66.

the cars, railway coaches and fashion all point to a time many years ago!
