PRR 1737, K-4S, 1930         
Here is a photo by H. Cotterell, Jr., via Rail Photo Service. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1737, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1914, renumbered "3750" in 1956, and retired in February of 1960 after 46 years of faithful service. This is the original K-4S. Note the semaphore signals and electrified third rail throughout. Many thanks to Mr. Robert Hess for clarifying the history of this photo (see comment below). John S. Fisher Collection; #7 of 12.

Robert Hess General This photo also appears on page 46 of the article on "K4s" by Frederick Westing in the August 1956 issue of 'Trains' magazine. Partial caption reads: "No longer an experimental, No. 1737 arrives at Manhattan Transfer in 1930.... Pilot and headlight tell of changes in shoppings." Credit is shown as "Rail Photo Service: H.
