PRR 2-8-0 #1 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
This 1892 Burnham, Wms & Co steam locomotive looks resplendent in the photo - with the sign in front, it must have been part of a display. This was a class 1 (or 3685) loco with small 50" drivers. It could develop a boiler pressure of 175 psi for its 24"x28" cylninders and had an engine weight of 150,000 lb. It could apply a modest tractive effort of 24,363 lb. The day in 1936 is approximate.

Description:
WB. Here is an image of an official photo that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 17 October 1936. Shown here in the Pennsylvania Railroad's Juniata Shops complex is engine #3536, an H-9S built here in October of 1913 and retired in September of 1955 after 42 years of service. While suspended by a pair of gantry cranes, it's being lowered into a vat of lye. The lye will dissolve accumulated grease and other gunk, making it easier to perform periodic maintenance. William E.
