PRR I-1SA, "Decapod," #1 of 2, c. 1955         
Parade 2. Here is the first of two successive duplicate 35mm color slides of photos by David Connor. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4459, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during May of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in January of 1940, and retired in August of 1959 after 36 years of faithful service. In this context, it's pushing N-5C cabin car #477978 and a mixed-cargo freight train. The exact date and the location are not recorded.
