Here is page 54 of a 78-page booklet published by Harry P. @lbrecht entitled "Those Amazing Class 'D' Locomotives." It was issued originally in June of 1981. Partial Caption: "This is an exceptionally interesting picture. It is from the Ted Xaras collection and shows a New York express about to depart from Broad Street Station in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1904." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1650, a D-16A (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata during 1895, rebuilt as a D-16 in January of 1911, and renumbered "01650" in 1917. We can almost hear the white-hatted Conductor announcing, "All ABOARD!" |
