| Here is the front cover of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's 105th Annual Report for the Year Ending 31 December 1951. Issued: 12 March 1952. Color illustration by Mr. Grif Teller. Cover Caption: "The Horseshoe Curve in the scenic Allegheny Mountains west of Altoona, Pennsylvania." There is also something symbolic here: there are five diesel engines depicted in the foreground...there is barely a hint of a steam locomotive in the distance...it's the advent of the diesel era and the passing of the age of steam...alas. |
