Title:
"Trains" Magazine, December 1951
Description:
Here is a photo taken by Mr. Fred McLeod. It was published originally in the December 1951 issue of "Trains & Travel" magazine, page 29. Partial Caption: "No. 25, the Pennsylvania Railroad's westbound 'Metropolitan Limited,' gets a steam assist as she tackles the Allegheny climb up to Gallitzin Summit from Altoona, Pa., in the early afternoon [of 9 October 1949]." Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #3888 and two EP-20's whose numbers are not recorded. #3888 is a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during July of 1923 and retired in September of 1952 after 29 years of faithful service.
