Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Roundhouse in Northumberland, Pennsylvania, on 20 October 1957. Shown here is the Pennsylvania Railroad's 0-10-0T steam locomotive named "Reuben Wells." It was built by the Madison & Indiana Railroad during 1868, specifically for use on its 5.89% upgrade between Madison and North Madison, Indiana. It's named after its designer, Mr. Reuben Wells. Looks to me like it's "Open House" at the Roundhouse!
