Pennsys last November
Description:
Symbol freight MD-16 (Edge Moor-Greenville) with an unusual number of GG-1s starts onto the High Line passing Arsenal Block and Interlocking Station on a rather dismal morning. This was your view from the east window of the block station, with the passenger tracks on the other side of the tower. An excellent place to see a lot of traffic pass by and make a wage simultaneously.

PRR 4830, GG-1, 1955
Description:
PFJ. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken at Frankford Junction near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 28 September 1955. At the right is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4830, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) built in Juniata during June of 1935, rated at 4,620 horsepower, and retired in April of 1967. At the left is Reading Railroad engine #214, built during 1948. According to Mr. Ben Kranefeld, "The Reading locomotive pictured is not a Northern type, but rather a G3 'Pacific' (4-6-2). It should also be noted that the Reading G3 is more than likely heading up a PRSL-Wildwood bound train, rather than a railfan excursion."
