"Power To Burn," Page 23, 1976
Description:
Here is page 23 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Partial Caption: "PRR Class FF-1, known as 'Big Liz,' is shown being connected with a PRR freight at Overbrook for its upgrade trip to Paoli." Shown here are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #3931 and a steam locomotive whose number is not recorded. #3931 is an FF-1 (1-C-C-1) built in Juniata during April of 1917, rated at 4,800 horsepower, and retired in April of 1940 after 23 years of service. Actually, #3931 is the prototype for a class of electric freight engines when the PRR was considering extending electrification from Harrisburg/Enola to Pittsburgh/Conway ~ a project that never materialized, due largely to a lack of revenue resulting from the Great Depression.
