Here is page ten of a 34-page article (in five installments) entitled "Locomotives Of The Pennsylvania." It was published originally in the July 1941 issue of "Railroad" magazine, page 59. Partial Caption: "The Road's 1-Spot is of the 2-8-0 wheel arrangement." PRR engine #1 is an H-6SB (2-8-0) "Consolidated" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an H-6B during 1906, rebuilt in Juniata as an H-6SB in April of 1913, and retired in April of 1949. Correction #1 ~> Omitted are the specifications for E-3SD (4-4-2) "Atlantics": 22x26-inch cylinders; 80-inch drivers; 195 pounds of boiler pressure; 55.5 square feet of grate area; 2,041 square feet of heating surface; 412 square feet of superheating surface; 127,200 pounds, weight on drivers; 196,600 pounds, total weight; as well as 26,072 pounds of tractive effort. Correction #2 ~> The tractive effort of the K-5 (4-6-2) "Pacific" class is actually 54,675 pounds, not "64,675."

This 1892 Burnham, Wms & Co steam locomotive looks resplendent in the photo - with the sign in front, it must have been part of a display. This was a class 1 (or 3685) loco with small 50" drivers. It could develop a boiler pressure of 175 psi for its 24"x28" cylninders and had an engine weight of 150,000 lb. It could apply a modest tractive effort of 24,363 lb. The day in 1936 is approximate.
