Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 142. Photo Caption: "Empty hopper cars returning to the coal mines round the Horseshoe Curve with a Baldwin built I1s at the head end. On this section, the going was rough and the engineer had to run of a long cut-off. That is where the 50 per cent cut-off in full gear paid off and produced money saving economies." Photo by Fred Westing. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4317, an I-1SA built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during December of 1922, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in February of 1942, and retired in June of 1953 after 31 years of faithful service. |
