"Trains" Magazine, June 1947 |
Description: |
Here is a photo that was published originally in the June 1947 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 61. Photo Caption: "The Paoli Local [February Trains] was not always electrified. In its earliest days, it was drawn by horsepower, then, for more than half a century, by steam. Although the 'Main Line' was four-track in 1908, as it is now, some changes other than electrification have taken place since that year, when this photograph of the station at St. Davids was taken. Lower-quadrant semaphore signals have given way to color-light signals, station platforms have been lengthened, and the water tower in the background is no longer needed. The schedule has been speeded up by nine minutes between Philadelphia and St. Davids. Now M.U. cars have replaced the Class E-2a 4-4-2 shown in the photograph, which is from the collection of George B. Ritz, 1351 Fillmore Street, Philadelphia." |

"Modern Railroads," Pages 14-15, 1956 |
Description: |
Here is a photo from a reprint of the November 1956 issue of "Modern Railroads" magazine, pages 14-15. Photo Caption: "Diesel locomotives work 'under the wire' to help out during traffic peaks. PRR has enough electric locomotives to handle normal traffic. A more efficient operation today, gross ton miles per freight train hour rose from 37,150 in 1946 to 53,205 in 1955." Shown here at the Paoli Station (R to L) are PRR engines #5793 and another E-8 whose number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD. #5793 is an EP-22 built in May of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. Also visible in the distance is PAOLI Tower. |
