PRR 6171, J-1, c. 1952
Title:  PRR 6171, J-1, c. 1952
Description:  Niles. Here is the second of eight original photos by George Niles, Jr., that were taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1952. Shown here is PRR engine #6171, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during September of 1944 and retired in October of 1957 after just 13 years of revenue service. It is pulling a mineral train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to the Eastbound Receiving Yards in Altoona.

PRR 6171, J-1, 1956
Title:  PRR 6171, J-1, 1956
Description:  Coal Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Tom Hall that was taken in Indianapolis, Indiana, on 7 October 1956. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6171, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during September of 1944 and retired in October of 1957 after just 13 years of revenue service. Looks to me like it's being serviced at the ash pit following another successful run.
