PRR 8426, L-1S, 1955 |
| Description: |
Miscellany. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken in Renovo, Pennsylvania, in September of 1955. Photo Caption: "Pennsylvania 2-8-2 No. 8426 at Renovo, Pennsylvania." Shown here is PRR engine #8246, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as number "7248" during December of 1916 and renumbered "8426" in February of 1919. In his context, it's being prepared by Renovo workers for stationary steam supply duty at Sunnyside Yard in Queens, New York. This involved converting the boiler to burn fuel oil, removing the main driving rods, and repainting both the engine and its tender. Also note the GM-EMD F-3's in the mid-distance. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam In Indian Summer" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (772-53). |
