Title:  PRR 4616, I-1SA, 1956
Description:  #4616 & #4243. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Crowl, Pennsylvania, on 14 September 1956. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4616 and #4243. Both are I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapods" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #4616 was constructed as an I-1S during September of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in February of 1937, and retired in August of 1959. #4243 was built as an I-1S in May of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in December of 1943, and retired in March of 1957. They're stopped with a 9,000-ton iron-ore train near Crowl. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam on the Pennsy's Elmira and Shamokin Branches" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (785-30).

They're pulling a 9,000-ton iron-ore train that's stopped in Crowl. Perhaps the crew's having some Maunero's Ice Cream on a steamy September's day!

Description:  #4616 & #4243. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Crowl, Pennsylvania, on 14 September 1956. Shown here (F to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4616 and #4243.

They're pulling a 9,000-ton iron-ore train as they approach a grade crossing near Crowl. You can almost hear the Decapod's banshee whistle wailing!

PRR 4616, I-1SA, 1956
Title:  PRR 4616, I-1SA, 1956
Description:  #4616 & #4243. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, on 14 September 1956. Shown here (F to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4616 and #4243. Both are I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapods" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #4616 was constructed as an I-1S during September of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in February of 1937, and retired in August of 1959. #4243 was built as an I-1S in May of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in December of 1943, and retired in March of 1957. The brakeman's re-filling #4243's tender with water. Given the placement of this photo in the series, the implication is that these locomotives uncoupled from the ore train, went to the water tower, recoupled with the ore train, and then proceeded on their journey. Also note the "doghouse" on the tender, the full-empty gauge on the wooden water tower, and the silver-colored telephone box visible at the far right. This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam on the Pennsy's Elmira and Shamokin Branches" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (785-33).

PRR 4616, I-1SA, 1956
Title:  PRR 4616, I-1SA, 1956
Description:  #4616 & #4243. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Philip R. Hastings that was taken near Locust Gap, Pennsylvania, on 14 September 1956. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4616 and #4243. Both are I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapods" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #4616 was constructed as an I-1S during September of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in February of 1937, and retired in August of 1959. #4243 was built as an I-1S in May of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in December of 1943, and retired in March of 1957. They're stopped on the 1.3% upgrade near Locust Gap with a 9,000-ton iron-ore train. The slide's caption indicates that the train stopped due to a "broken coupler knuckle" on one of the hopper cars! This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Steam on the Pennsy's Elmira and Shamokin Branches" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (785-36).
