Consler. Here is a photo by William H. Rau that was taken near Allegrippus, Pennsylvania, c. 1892. Photo Caption: "PRR Photo Train. Engine 663. Car 1382." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #663, a D-11A (4-4-0) "American" built in the Altoona Machine Shops during July of 1886 and retired in June of 1903 after just 17 years of faithful service. "From the Collection of John Gibb Smith, Jr."
