RDG 614 "The Crusader" |
| Description: |
A streamlined Pacific GS1sas leads The Crusader, train #614 (the afternoon eastbound) past the Skillman depot. I'm told by a fellow who enhanced the pic that this is the #117. In 1947, the Crusader ran twice a day between Philadelphia and Jersey City. The trainset has an observation car on either end. The eastbound side is now tucked into an extention off the tender. In JC, the engine will be turned and placed on the other end, but the rest of the trainset is not turned. |

PRR 4830, GG-1, 1955 |
| Description: |
PFJ. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken at Frankford Junction near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 28 September 1955. At the right is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4830, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) built in Juniata during June of 1935, rated at 4,620 horsepower, and retired in April of 1967. At the left is Reading Railroad engine #214, built during 1948. According to Mr. Ben Kranefeld, "The Reading locomotive pictured is not a Northern type, but rather a G3 'Pacific' (4-6-2). It should also be noted that the Reading G3 is more than likely heading up a PRSL-Wildwood bound train, rather than a railfan excursion." |

RDG 4-6-2 #217 - Reading Co |
| Description: |
Great action shot of Reading 4-6-2 #217 heading up a crack varnish with baggage cars and four passenger cars. Built by the Reading's own shops in June of 1948 (no serial number), the idea that Reading was investing in steam this late in the game definitely points to a need for power to pull the passenger service as older 4-6-2's were retired. Unfortunately, the loco and its entire class barely completed 9 years of service, they were retired in June of 1957. Specs - G3 class, 80" drivers, impressive 260 psi boiler pressure, 25x28" cylinders, engine weight of 329,450 lb, tractive effort of 48,344 lb. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so "guess-timations" were used. |
