Title:
"Once Upon The Pennsy," Page 54, 1953
Description:
Here is page three of a four-page camera study by Frederick Westing entitled "Once Upon The Pennsy." It was published originally in the February 1953 issue of "Trains & Travel" magazine, page 54. Partial Caption: "The swank all-Pullman, extra-fare 'Pennsylvania Special' pauses briefly in North Philadelphia on a morning in 1908; at 7:54 she'll be off on her 84-mile, 91-minute last leg to Jersey City. Engineer Oliver P. Keller and Fireman George Z. Gray pose in the cab of E-2 Atlantic No. 1973 while Conductor Harry Leonard (beside the tender) completes the roster of crew notables." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1973, an E-2 (4-4-2) "Atlantic" built in Juniata during 1901 and retired in August of 1923 after 22 years of faithful service.
