Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1600, an E-6S (4-4-2) "Atlantic" built in Juniata in July of 1914 and retired in April of 1956. Awaiting orders to proceed, #1600 and its crew are poised at the Passenger Station in Reading, Pennsylvania, on 4 October 1953. According to Mr. Gregory D. Pawelski, "It's the last regularly-scheduled PRR passenger train from Philadelphia to Reading on display before returning to Philly." Roy Healey Collection; #6 of 40. |
