Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Locomotive Test Plant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps in 1916. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1306, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during February of 1916 and retired in January of 1950 after 34 years of faithful service. Note the manual reverse! ("Douglas_Collectibles"; #3 of 10) |
