Elmira. Here is the second of five successive duplicate 35mm color slides of photos by David Connor that were taken on 21 March 1956. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4664, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during November of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in July of 1943, and retired in March of 1957 after 34 years of faithful service. Close observation reveals that there is a tail-end pusher locomotive adding to the drama! The slide mount is annotated "Route 14 Crossing." ("Stoneborobranch"; #12 of 34) |
