Yes, I worked for the PRR, Penn Central, Conrail and then Norfolk Southern.  I also ran a few early years of Amtrak trains too.

Nice shots!  Old Pennsylvania RR passenger T&E crews at the time that first shot was taken, were based out of Altoona, PA and worked between Altoona and Harrisburg and Altoona and Pittsburgh..
