Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 44. Partial Caption: "Clearly a posed publicity shot as indicated by the 'faked' oversize lettering on tender tank and cars. The two locomotives belonged to the E3a class of the Pittsburgh Division. Leading locomotive is No. 2413, and train is No. 11, a rather famous mail train that ran between New York, St. Louis, and the southwest." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #2413, an E-3A (4-4-2) "Atlantic" built in Juniata during 1903 and retired in January of 1928 after 25 years of faithful service. |
