Alan Fricker General Teh pilot truck is interesting-the lead wheel is spoked and the rear wheel is solid. Nice looking loco. 2/8/2014 9:32:21 AM
Jacob Rink General Nice Shot! An Ex Blue Comet Engine! 2/8/2014 9:58:36 AM
Dave Korhammer General Not possitive, but this may be Atlantic City (note the PRR engine behind her to the left). As Jacob notes she was Blue Comet engine - she may be in that service (train was discontinued Sept. 1941) and by that late date the train's name board on the feedwater heater had been removed. 11/2/2014 4:37:58 PM
