PRR 2-8-0 #1 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
This 1892 Burnham, Wms & Co steam locomotive looks resplendent in the photo - with the sign in front, it must have been part of a display. This was a class 1 (or 3685) loco with small 50" drivers. It could develop a boiler pressure of 175 psi for its 24"x28" cylninders and had an engine weight of 150,000 lb. It could apply a modest tractive effort of 24,363 lb. The day in 1936 is approximate.

PRR Passenger Station Wreck, #1 of 2, 1899
Description:
iStation. Here is the first of two images of photos by unidentified photographers taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 21 December 1899. Shown here is the carnage of a Pennsylvania Railroad freight train that derailed near the Passenger Station.

Several PRR men died in the process. Here, PRR engine #1280 assists in the recovery effort; it's an H-3 (2-8-0) "Consolidated" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1888 and retired in July of 1913 after 25 years of service. The Station's trainshed is at the right; discernable through the haze is the cathedral-like Middle Roundhouse. Photo taken from the 12th Street Footbridge. William E. Burket Collection.

Here is page 68 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Photo Caption: "A PRR wreck at New Portage Junction near Wye Switches, Duncansville, involved seven locomotives. This was the first wreck in which automobiles, en route to dealers, were destroyed. It occurred Nov. 6, 1916." In an article published in a November 1966 issue of the "Altoona Mirror," it's stated that "It was 50 years ago, Nov. 6, 1916, that [this] disastrous freight wreck occurred near the Wye Switches at Duncansville. An eastbound freight train, No. 2736, went out of control descending the New Portage Branch from Gallitzin to Hollidaysburg and ran away to crash into four engines ~ Nos. 2477, 2759, 2665, and 971 ~ standing near the Wye Switches. Seven trainmen were killed in the wreck." Note the steam-powered derrick at work on the right. (For more photos of this incident, see the album entitled "PRR: Wreck at New Portage Junction ~ NOV 1916.")
