"Once Upon The Pennsy," Page 53, 1953         
Here is page two of a four-page camera study by Frederick Westing entitled "Once Upon The Pennsy." It was published originally in the February 1953 issue of "Trains & Travel" magazine, page 53. Top Photo: Partially visible here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1395, a D-16A (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata during May of 1898, rebuilt as a D-16 in October of 1911, and retired in March of 1923. Bottom Photo Caption: "A Pennsy 4-4-2 did the work of the ordinary 4-6-0, thanks to the heavier axle loadings made possible by good track. E-2 No. 1435 takes the green, red, and cream 'Pennsylvania Limited' through West Philadelphia in 1902." Shown here is PRR engine #1435, an E-2 (4-4-2) "Atlantic" built in Juniata as number "1435" during 1901, renumbered "01435" in 1918, and retired in March of 1925.
