| Here is a photo taken by Mr. Wallace W. Abbey. It was published originally in the December 1950 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 17. Partial Caption: "Not too many years ago, a diesel locomotive was a rarity at 21st Street Tower.... The Pennsylvania K-4 used to dominate the scene, but now you have to wait quite a while to find one picking its way through the crossing frogs. This one is pulling empty equipment." Shown here is PRR engine #5457, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during March of 1927 and retired in January of 1954 after 27 years of faithful service. |
