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."
