Here is page 51 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Photo Caption: "Here it all began. The above print, from a tin-type photograph made in 1854, shows the original PRR Shops which, at that time, were devoted mainly to repairs. The PRR did not begin building locomotives until after 1865." Photo taken facing southeasterly toward Brush Mountain; 9th Avenue parallels the long Shop structure in the photo; the East-West mainline tracks are not shown in the foreground. |
