Summary: Volume 2 [formerly Volume 59]:
The date range of the volume is 1940 to 1949 and its contents are quite varied.  It contains holiday cards, mostly from 1946 and 1947, and newspaper clippings from the Evening Bulletin and Public Ledger including obituaries for PTC employees, an article profiling a female cashier, and articles on the history of railroads in the area.  There are short bios of PTC employees (many with photographs missing) detailing the positions they held, where they lived, and personal interests such as “fond of Gilbert and Sullivan” or  a member in a particular Orient or Masonic lodge.  Additionally, there is a handwritten index of local railroads in the area and a photograph of A. A. Mitten, who succeeded his father Thomas E. Mitten as president of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT), the predecessor of PTC.
