PRR 2-8-0 #1251   Contributor's Pick!       
As a correction to the previous description, this Consolidation is an example of a PRR Altoona shops H8b class locomotive built in 12/1909. It was rebuilt in 1919 as an H8sb. According to the Altoona shops records, it was eventually scrapped January of 1934 so this may have been one of its last photos. However the car in the photo could possibly be a 1936 Chevrolet model which puts doubt on the scrap date. Can anyone help identify the year on this car? Date listed here is approximate.

James Cocuzza General This photo must be POST 1930. I can't confirm the make of the auto, but the body style looks to be about a 1937 to 1940 era. MAYBE A Chevrolet 9/25/2013 7:56:05 PM
