PRR 1361, K-4S, 1957
Description:
#1361. Here is a commercial photo of a Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive taken at the Juniata Erecting and Machine Shop in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during June of 1957. Shown here is PRR engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in this very building during May of 1918 for passenger-only service. This photo was taken just before it was enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957. That's a difference of 39 years! During 1987 and 1988, engine #1361 was restored for service, and made some excursion runs in Central Pennsylvania. Certain safety concerns arose, however, which led to it being disassembled. It has yet to be reassembled/restored/resurrected! The photographer's name is not recorded.

#1361. Here is an original 35mm color slide that was taken by an unidentified photographer at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1982. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in September of 1956, enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957, restored for excursion service in April of 1987, withdrawn from service and disassembled because of safety concerns, and still not reassembled to wholeness. Looks to me like this photo was taken from a passing train, perhaps from the cabin car of the westbound freight train visible across Burgoon Run.
