Viewing Album: PRR: Atterbury's M-1 Engines: Part 1 ~ 1979
By:
Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:
10/2/1979 - 10/2/1979
Album Info:
Here are the front cover and an 11-page cover article by Mr. Bert Pennypacker entitled "Atterbury's Engines: Part 1 ~ Great Increases In Horsepower And Speed." They were published originally in the October 1979 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 22-32. "So in 1923 Gen. William Wallace Atterbury, [PRR's] Vice President Operations, decided the time had come to acquire a special mountain-going passenger hauler that could, once and for all, reduce helper requirements, for he had lived through the years with triple-headed power ~ first with E-2 Atlantics, later with K-2sa light Pacifics, then with K-4s's."
