PRR 6446, J-1, #3 of 4, 1951 |
| Description: |
AHC. Here is the third of four successive duplicate 35mm color slides of photos by Bill Price that were taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 13 August 1951. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6446, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during November of 1943 and retired in February of 1960 after just 17 years of revenue service. In this context, it's serving as a pusher for a freight train that's rounding the Curve on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where it will uncouple and return to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Also visible are N-5 cabin car #477634 and Signal Bridge #2416. |

"Trains" Centennial Issue, Page 51, 1946 |
| Description: |
Here is page 51 of the April 1946 issue of "Trains" magazine. It's the second page of a four-page review of Mr. Edward Hungerford's 1945 book entitled "A Railroad For Tomorrow." The reviewer is Professor Richard C. Overton of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Caption: "Under the Hungerford plan, many lines are rearranged to take advantage of favorable combinations of railroad. For instance, in New England the Hoosac Tunnel portion of the Boston & Maine's Boston-Albany line is combined with the easy eastern portion of the Boston & Albany. The book includes nine main line and terminal maps." |

The reviewer is Professor Richard C. Overton of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Caption: "Edward Hungerford designed his own two-coach unit for daytime passenger service on the railroad of tomorrow. Outstanding feature is a kitchenette in the center of each double-car from which light meals are served to passengers at their seats.

CB&Q 4-6-0 Class K-10 960 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-0 Class K-10 960 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown date in 1952, photograph by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 960 was built by Rogers in April 1900 as B&MR 56 ( c/n 5525 ), renumbered in 1904 to CB&Q 2-6-0 Class H-4 1238, rebuilt by the CB&Q at Havelock, Nebraska in August 1908 to 4-6-0 Class K-10 960, sold for scrap in September 1953. An interesting note about the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works ( later, a subsidiary of Alco ); the Works did not have a direct rail connection. The nearest railroad was the Erie, about a mile from the factory. The finished locomotives were hauled through the city of Patersonn New Jersey, first on temporary tracks laid in the streets and pulled by teams of as many as 20 horses. Later, when streetcars were operating in Paterson, heavy flatcars were used, again using "horsepower". |
