Sunnyside Yard
This page contains pictures of the
Pennsylvania Railroad's Sunnyside Yard in Astoria/Long
Island City, New York. Most were taken by a young
lady, Frieda (Rose) Hohner, who worked on the turn-around
crew as a "Checker", re-supplying and cleaning passenger equipment in
preparation for its next use. While the exact dates of
images are not known, unless noted they are from the 1920s.
Anecdotally, Rose would later go on to marry the fellow
featured in several of these pictures. Theodore J.
Michaels worked for The Pullman Company - moving on from
Sunnyside to eventually take the top post at
Hoboken Terminal. |
