Title:  "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," Page 178, 1974
Description:  Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 178. Partial Caption: "This was a publicity shot of the 'Broadway Limited' taken in September 1920, and shows the kind of engine Ollie Keller was driving at the time. Picture was taken at Cornwells, Pa., (now Cornwells Heights) opposite Michells Seed Gardens, and close to Cornwells interlocking tower, known as 'CO' and long since removed. Engine was No. 3758 of the K4s class built in 1920." Engine #3758 is a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during April of 1920 and retired in April of 1950 after 30 years of faithful service.
