| Here is the 34th of 36 plates constituting the "Centennial Album of Pennsylvania R.R. Photos and Prints." It was published in the April 1946 issue of "Railroad" magazine, page 43. Photo Caption: "Poetry on Wheels. Lithe and handsome Philadelphia, Wilmington, & Baltimore 64 was as brightly colored as the Autumn landscape behind her. Note the wooden splice-bars aligning the rail in the foreground. They were used extensively by PRR for many years." Shown here is P.W.& B. engine #64, a 4-4-0 "American" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during 1853 and sold in 1865. It was named "True American." |
