RDG 2-8-0 #1580 Camelback - Philadelphia & Reading  Contributor's Pick!       
Lined up with others in a storage line, this camelback Consolidation awaits its fate. Built in 1905, it had 61"5" drivers and generated an impressive 210 psi but that still couldn't save it from being scrapped. The day in 1939 is approximate. No photographer was listed on the back of this photo.
