Title:  "Class 'D' Locomotives," Page 3, 1981
Description:  Here is page three of a 78-page booklet published by Harry P. Albrecht entitled "Those Amazing Class 'D' Locomotives." It was issued originally in June of 1981. Partial Caption: "The Pennsylvania Railroad was only 3 years old when the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia outshopped No. 7, the Juniata, in 1849." Shown here is the PRR's engine named "Juniata," a 4-4-0 "American" built by Baldwin during 1849, later rechristened number "7," and retired in March of 1872 after 23 years of faithful service. In this context, it looks to me like the "Juniata" is about to cross over the Little Juniata River near Union Furnace, Pennsylvania.
