Description
Contributor Brian Harkins, "I inherited this picture, about 20" x 16", from my Great Uncle Melvin Harkins, who was employed at T&P for many years, an entire career, in Louisiana. He later lived in Alexandria.
The handwritten note on the back says:
"T&P no. 7, West of Marshall, Texas, 1942, Ed Robinson - Photo -".
Apparently the train was also known as the Number 7. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
