PRR 4632, I-1SA, 1957         
Northbound Coal. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a ptoto by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Leolyn, 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 og 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in January of 1931, and retired in January of 1960. Also visible are 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. Given the placement of this photo in the series, the implication is that these locomotives uncoupled from tke coal train, moved to the water tower, and then only engine #4632 recoupled with the coal train. 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 (785-13).

Maurice Hooks General The PAs were used to assist the class I1, 2-10-0s in pushing the coal trns on the Elmira Branch in the late 50s. These appear to be running light back to Williamsport. 10/8/2016 1:03:28 PM
