Akron Railroad Club member Bob Farkas has invited us over to his house for a party to celebrate the new year and to remember an old year.
After some socializing and snacks, he’s brought out his Wayback Machine and taken us back on the Erie Lackawanna on a winter day in Kent in the 1960s for a “from the same roll of film” show.
He said the images are from the same afternoon and are not in any particular order. Pass the popcorn and enjoy the show.
