| Description: |
Northbound Coal. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Snedekerville, Pennsylvania, on 5 May 1957. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8626, #8620, and #4311. #8626 and #8620 are AS-18M road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8626 was constructed in February of 1957, while #8620 was built in August of 1956. These diesels were summoned to assist this northbound coal train after the steam-powered pusher locomotive became disabled. #4311 is an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S in November of 1922, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in August of 1934, and retired in October of 1959 after 37 years of faithful service. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam on the Pennsy's Elmira and Shamokin Branches" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (785-19). |
