Album Info:Here are seven original photos that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive tenders in Frankstown, Pennsylvania, on 01 April 1962. All of them were on their way to being scrapped at the PRR's Reclamation Plant. Before ending-up here, these tenders had been attached to steam locomotives and had pulled hundreds of trains and thousands of passenger and freight cars for many, many thousands of miles. The eighth and last photo is of a pair of P-5A electric locomotives that were also on their way to be scrapped.
