G5s (4-6-0) numbered in the 20’s-series pulls a string of 11 cars
eastbound in the Summer’s early evening light in 1952 through Union Hall
Street station, Jamaica. Notice the old Pennsy keystone-style
station sign still in place on the station’s covered platforms and in
the far distance can be seen the overhead concourse at
Jamaica
station, accessing the various platforms.
