Description: |
Here is a photo from David W. Seidel's 2008 book entitled "Images Of Rail: Horseshoe Curve," page 69. Partial Caption: "During June 1962, the PRR operated new General Electric U-25B diesel-electric locomotives 2500, 2508, and 2502 over Horseshoe Curve. Rated at 2,500 horsepower, they are equipped with train-phones and dual controls. Railroaders dubbed them 'U-Boats.'" Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2500, #2508, and #2502. All were built by General Electric in 1962: #2500 and #2502 were built in August, but #2508 was built in September. Barely visible in the distance is PRR K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" #1361. |

My first chance to meet the famed PRR 1361, and she is in pieces... At least seeing this in the nice new roundhouse in Altoona with a few signs of work to restore her is better than seeing her gathering dust in Steamtown I guess. |

PRR 4-6-2 #1533 - Pennsylvania RR |
Description: |
Here is a PRR Pacific loco built in the PRR Juniata shops in 1918. The photo had a lengthy personal note on the back - "Culver, IN. Dear Dad, As you know, have inherited the old South Bend Branch and have been to So, Bend, Lakeville, La Paz Jct, Hibbard and am now here at Culver. Been thinking about you all day & here is the old train you used to run. Wish you were along, Love, Tom" The author is referring to the South Bend Branch that was originally part of the Vandalia RR, then Pennsylvania RR. Under Penn Central and Conrail, the line was eventually abandoned between South Bend and Logansport. It used to carry large shipments of Studebaker automobiles from South Bend and was famous for its doodlebug passenger service. Specifics - K-4s class, tall 80" drivers, 205 psi boiler pressure, 27x28" cylinders, engine weight of 304,500 lb, tractive effort of 44,460 lb. No actual date or photographer was listed so an approximate date was used. |

Description: |
On the right in the photo is PRR 4-6-2 Pacific #1546 built by the PRR Juniata Shops in May of 1912, one of the famous K-4s class members. The loco served for over 39 years before being scrapped in November of 1951. The loco on the left is difficult to read its number - something like 5232 or 5982. No location, date, or photographer was listed for this photo unfortunately. Thanks to Tom Beckett and especially Robert Hess (see comments below) for the interesting info on these and identifying the locaiton. Thanks to both of you! |
