"Railroad" Magazine, April 1976 |
| Description: |
Here is a painting by Mr. Donald E. Antes, Jr. It's the cover illustration on the April 1976 issue of "Railroad" magazine. Cover Caption: "Our classic cover painting of a Pennsy train on Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pa., was done by Donald E. Antes, Jr., president of Hall of Steam, 1407 N. Atherton St., State College, Pa." Depicted here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in September of 1956, enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957, restored for excursion service during 1987-1988, then withdrawn from service and disassembled due to safety concerns, and still not reassembled to wholeness. [N.B.: Mr. Antes's work reminds me of a similar "Horseshoe Curve" scene painted by Mr. Grif Teller in 1935.] |

"Trains" Magazine, October 1973 |
| Description: |
Here is a photo taken by Mr. J.C. Smith, Jr. It was published originally in the October 1973 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 15. Photo Caption: "Wearing Amtrak digits and PC paint, GG1 907 takes a Philadelphia-bound Amtrak 'clocker' past new fill and catenary poles at Elizabeth, N.J. The construction will allow better superelevation of track and thus ease (but not eliminate) a speed-restricting reverse curve." Amtrak engine #907 was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in Juniata during June of 1940 and originally numbered "4906." |

"Trains" Magazine, October 1973 |
| Description: |
Here is a photo taken by Mr. W. Frank Clodfelter. It was published originally in the October 1973 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 33. Photo Caption: "A rare Pennsylvania K5 walks a string of varnish up a slight grade approaching Timonium, Md., en route from Harrisburg, Pa., to Baltimore in the early Forties when this railroad was advertised as The Standard Railroad of the World. These brothers to the world-famous K4's were built with greater starting tractive force and greater power than the K4's, and carried a boiler pressure of 250 pounds per square inch. Only two were built (in 1929) ~ No. 5699 shown here, and No. 5698." Engine #5699 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during March of 1929 and retired in September of 1953 after 24 years of faithful service. |
