Pictures from the Collection of Howard W. Ameling

Howard W. Ameling is a long-time rail-photographer who has taken thousands of pictures of the Nickel Plate Road and Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway. In addition to his own pictures, his extensive collection contains many others obtained from other sources over the years. If you have had the opportunity to view Nickel Plate photographs and postcards, no doubt many were his. He is presently the E-List Administrator of the Nickel Plate Road Historical & Technical Society. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Ameling for allowing me to post these pictures. I'm sure you will enjoy them as much as I have.
