| Here is a photo taken by Mr. W. Frank Clodfelter. It was published originally in the October 1973 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 33. Photo Caption: "A rare Pennsylvania K5 walks a string of varnish up a slight grade approaching Timonium, Md., en route from Harrisburg, Pa., to Baltimore in the early Forties when this railroad was advertised as The Standard Railroad of the World. These brothers to the world-famous K4's were built with greater starting tractive force and greater power than the K4's, and carried a boiler pressure of 250 pounds per square inch. Only two were built (in 1929) ~ No. 5699 shown here, and No. 5698." Engine #5699 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during March of 1929 and retired in September of 1953 after 24 years of faithful service. |
