CNJ 2-8-2 #905 - Central RR of New Jersey (original sepia tone) |
| Description: |
Thought it would be interesting to post the original sepia colored photo so compare with the converted b&w photo in this album. The sepia tone gives it a nostolgic feeling lacking in the b&w comversion. Unknown photographer and no exact date given for the photo. |
