PRR 5409, K-4S, c. 1930 |
| Description: |
Portraits 10. Here is a steam locomotive portrait of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5409, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during February of 1927 and retired in February of 1955 after 28 years of faithful service. The simultaneous presence of both catenary and third-rail power delivery systems suggest that this photo was taken at Manhattan Transfer near Harrison, New Jersey. The photographer's name and the exact date are not recorded. Many thanks to Mr. Robert Hess for identifying both the locomotive and the location correctly. (#35 of 72) |

| Title: |
Pennsy's "Nellie Bly" |
| Description: |
This is most likely PRR train #1077, the "Nellie Bly" which ran from New York to Atlantic City in 2 hrs and 45 min and would have received an engine change here from a GG1 to the K4s. For sure, the train is on the track headed down the Bordentown Branch to Camden (and possibly beyond to AC). K4s #5409 was a 1927 product of Baldwin Locomotive Works. The new pilot and relocated headlight are part of post war modernization that CKF said made it an example of "What a good looking locomotive should not look like |
