Living with Steam

A Day in Palmyra, June 26, 1951


Listen Later

This is the second of a three part series documenting a road trip John M. Prophet III made back in July of 1951. In the last episode of Living with Steam, you heard the railroad sound recordings John made in Trenton, NJ; his last stop on the trip. Now, you'll hear the incredible recordings of many Pennsylvania Railroad trains John captured in Palmyra, NJ. In my opinion, these are some of his best work. Whether he liked it or not, John captured a slice of small-town America while he was in Palmyra. His goal may have been to only record PRR trains, but he also caught all the activity taking place in Palmyra's business district from early in the morning to the early evening. The Pennsy trains that ran through Palmyra every few minutes were part of the everyday life in 1951.
