PRR 22, L-1S, 1954
Description:
Here is an original photo by John S. Fisher that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, in November of 1954. Caption On Reverse: "PRR Class L1 Mikado. Nov. '54." Partially visible here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #22, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during February of 1917 and retired in May of 1957 after 40 years of faithful service. Looks to me like it's been put into long-term storage.

It's stopped at the dwarf signal, but will shortly head toward the Wye Switches in Duncansville ~ where it will either turn right and head toward the yards in Altoona, or head up the Allegheny Mountains via the Muleshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. Visible in the distance is the Blair County Court House steeple, located in the very heart of Hollidaysburg.

A group of twenty of these giant locomotives were, therefore, herded together to form a train that was known as the Prosperity Special."
