"Conquering The Alleghenies," Page 10, 1988
Title:  "Conquering The Alleghenies," Page 10, 1988
Description:  Here is the back cover of a six-page cover article by Bert Pennypacker entitled "Conquering The Alleghenies In 1923." It was published originally on the "National Railway Bulletin," Volume 53, Number 2, 1988. Photo by Bud Rothaar. Photo Caption: "These homely, rough-riding 'hippos' were a sturdy breed. In fact, I1sa Decapods had the distinction of being the last locomotives in steam when Pennsy finally achieved 100-percent diesel and electric operation. In November 1957, Big Steam's last stand in PRR road-haul service was on the iron ore trains headed for the furnaces of Bethlehem Steel at Bethlehem, Pa. Here, Baldwin-built I1sa 4407 doubleheads with a sister 2-10-0 upgrade near Shamokin, Pa., in the mid-1950's. Most likely, two more of their clan are shoving on the rear." Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4407 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during January of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in May of 1937, and retired in October of 1959 and retired after 36 years.

Description:  Rolfe. Here is an original photo by N. Rolfe that was taken near the 12th Street Footbridge and Passenger Station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, 4 November 1951.

In this context, it's serving as a brake at the end of a mineral train that's just come down the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve and is now on its way to the Eastbound Receiving Yard just beyond the 4th Street Footbridge. Just ahead of #4414 is PRR open hopper car #474292 loaded with snow-covered coal; behind it is an unidentified N-5 cabin car. Dominating the background is the part of the power plant for the PRR's 12th Street Car Shops. #1 of 6.
