This small collection consists of photographs, prints, and note cards related to railroad locomotives. There are photographs of train stations, train cars and engines and one stereoview showing an elevated railway street scene of New York City. There is an album containing photographs of many different Amtrak trains each alongside a card with the following information: equipment type, series, number of units, year built, builder, horsepower, weight, and primary service.

There are several blotters from the Association of American Railroads most of which are World War II propaganda about the railroads contribution to the Nations defense. The Association of American Railroads also put out a set of images showing various railway operations. The images are numbered and captioned. There appears to be two sets of the images, as there are duplicate numbers and captions with different pictures above. Neither is a complete set. The photomechanical prints have been arranged in numerical order all together since it is unknown which images go together as a set.

There are a few series of note cards. Three note cards featuring photographs of Tom Kane of Pennsylvania Railroad electric locomotives. A set of note cards with drawings by Jane Curtis of Pennsylvania Railroad stations in Pennsylvania: Westtown, Lansdowne, Wallingford, Moylan Rose Valley, Media, Cheyney, Glen Mills, and West Chester. There is a series of holiday cards by various student artists at the Archmere Academy, created for the American Institute of Architects Delaware Chapter & Friends of the Furness Railroad District Children's Art Contest. The artwork on the front of the cards features railroad stations or platforms. There is also a Friends of the Furness Railroad Disctric postcard and bulletin.

There is a small set of souvenier cards from the Norfolk & Western Railway featuring different locomotives. On the front a locomotive is pictured and the back contains information about the train.

Notably there is a large collection of railroad locomotive trading cards from the Topps Chewing Gum Company series called "Rails and Sails" published in 1954. Each card features an image of a train car or engine on the front and a description on the back.
