PRR 4632, I-1SA, 1957         
Northbound Coal. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Roaring Branch, Pennsylvania, on 5 May 1957. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4632, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during October of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in January of 1931, and retired in January of 1960. It's pushing a northbound coal train along with two PRR Diesel locomotives: #5756 and #5757. Both are AFP-20's built by the American Locomotive Company in November of 1947, rated at 2,000 horsepower each, and retired in September of 1962. Also visible is PRR N-5C cabin car #477859. Looking on is fellow photographer Jim Shaughnessy. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam on the Pennsy's Elmira and Shamokin Branches" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (785-11).

karl Hamilton General My uncle worked on the Pensy and said he hated being in a Crummy with a loco pushing @ss it was dangerous, noisy too. 9/22/2016 11:10:09 PM
Rick Erben General About an as exotic combination of power as possible - a drag freight I-1 and former passenger units that didn't make the cut. I'd take the cabin car, any day! 9/23/2016 12:21:00 AM
