"Trains" Magazine, April 1949         
Here is a photo taken by Mr. Mike Runey. It was published originally in the April 1949 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 31. Photo Caption: "Bound for the coalfields with a train of empty hoppers, a Pennsylvania I-1 comes waddling out of the Elmira (N.Y.) Yards. After picking up orders at Kendall Tower and crossing over the shallow waters of Seeley Creek, the capable Decapod will be on the single track main line of the Williamsport Division ~ an important link in the Pennsy's map that provides connections with other eastern carriers (like the Lehigh Valley) and furnishes nearby markets with Keystone State fuel. Most of the Division's tonnage is hauled by these I-1's or heavy M-1 Mountain types; often, both classes doublehead." The locomotive's road number and the date are not recorded.
