| Hollidaysburg. Here is an image by Robert Wanner that was taken in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 14 July 1956. It was published in the FaceBook group "Pennsylvania Railroad" on Thursday, 18 January 2018. Photo Caption: "L-1 Class locomotive switching the M/W Yard in Hollidaysburg, Pa. 1956. Lots of car storage in the Yard before the large [Samuel Rea] Car Shop was built. Petersburg Branch was in use at this time, but soon abandoned." Shown here is PRR engine #633, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during December of 1916 and retired in August of 1959 after 43 years of faithful service. [Mr. Wanner's caption is a bit confusing as a corner of the Shop ~ opened in 1955 ~ is plainly visible.] |
