Title:  "Trains" Magazine, July 1962
Description:  Here is a nighttime photo taken by Mr. Jim Shaughnessy. It was published originally in the July 1961 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 38-39. Photo Caption: "Pennsy yard engine 3921* little more than one pantograph long, is about as compact a shifter as one could design ~ electric, steam, or diesel. The B-1, caught in flash-bulb glare in Sunnyside'Yard, Long Island, measures just 31-1/2 feet over all, weighs 157,000 pounds, exerts 39,250 pounds tractive effort. Pennsy acquired 28 of these 15.9 mph, 570 h.p. shifters between 1926 and 1935 (the 3921 was built in [Juniata during] 1926, converted to 11,000-volt A.C. in 1934)." #3921 was built in Juniata during June of 1926 and retired in January of 1962 after 36 years' service.
