| Here is the first of three original photos by an unidentified photographer that were taken during a railfan excursion on 13 April 1947. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6538 and #6513. Both are Class "E" (4-4-2) "Atlantics" built in Juniata. #6538 was built as E-5 number "38" for the New York, Philadelphia, & Norfolk Railroad during 1913; rebuilt as an E-5S in 1913; acquired by the PRR and renumbered "6538" in August of 1918; and retired in September of 1949. #6513 was built as E-6 number "46" for the New York, Philadelphia, & Norfolk Railroad during 1914; acquired by the PRR and renumbered "1649" in April of 1917; renumbered "6513" in August of 1918; and retired in May of 1951. Many thanks to Mr. Jim Boylan for location information. Roy Healey Collection; #1 of 12. |
