| Here is page one of a four-page camera study by Frederick Westing entitled "Once Upon The Pennsy." It was published originally in the February 1953 issue of "Trains & Travel" magazine, page 52. Top Photo Caption: "The grace and glory of early 20th century varnish is caught up in this shot of the 'Pennsylvania Special' on its second westbound trip on June 16, 1902, as Engineer Martin H. Lee whips his classic D-16a through Morrisville, Pa., at 85 miles an hour." Shown here is PRR engine #1395, a D-16A (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata during May of 1898, rebuilt as a D-16 in October of 1911, and retired in March of 1923. Bottom Photo: Leading this triple-header near Radnor in 1911 is PRR engine #2546, an H-6A (2-8-0) "Consolidated" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in March of 1905 and retired in November of 1933. |
