PRR 4899 R1 electric built 1934 by Baldwin with Westinghouse electric gear. The R1 design was a competitor with the GE-built GG1 and of course the GG1 won out. While not duplicated, the R1 remained in service until 1958. The R1 was actually a little more powerful than the GG1
PRR 6131, one of PRR's Q2 4-4-6-4 duplex locomotives and one of my personal favorites.
6131 was built in 1944 and retired only eight years later. Due to the transition to diesel power, PRR's large, modern steam power had a very short career.
PRR 7067 class K28s 4-6-2 "Fat Annie" at Crestline, Ohio. Built 1907 by Pittsburgh and scrapped 1933.

Nice ( Deadpoolmx55 ) I haven't seen that engine in a long time , and it's not a photo I'm familiar with .
After seeing a lot of awesome shots of layout and routes here , and wishing I could see the entire route in a trip . Kinda like train chase over their route or layout .
Whit this idea in mine , I'm again going to try and do a train chase with nation of where , what , and how . On my route ( A fictional ) , the choices are a fairly long trip 2 hr, to 30 min session .
I'm starting with a making up a train at Rockport yard of empty coal gondolas and coal cars . To be loaded at Black Bear coal and back to fisher coal docks .
Two Alco's RS1 leave engine house to make up a west bound empty coal drag .
Empty Engine house coal car's
Rockport south yard

PRR Mixed Freight
In summer 1959, a pair of Pennsylvania Railroad EMD SD9 locomotives [PRR class ERS17a] pass through a small town with a lengthy general merchandise freight.

I am thinking that this photo is the original 1854 era Portage bore where AR Loop swings in, and that the Galitzin and Allegheny bores were not in existence yet, as the Horseshoe was still not constructed, and the State System Muleshoe line to Holidaysburg, Petersburg was the original mainline
Tunnelhill side view of separate twin bores, each being single track tunnel(s) with tunnel fans (now removed). The middle swing track was to send trains down opposite routes in case of derailment, or a passenger shortcut run around. Baldwin Centipede helpers, shove a freight uphill through the Galitzin bore, on the Tunnelhill side
The Allegheny bore was the second constructed tunnel, and was single tracked, until the recent double stack crown mining, widening it to 2 tracked
The 3rd constructed tunnel was the single tracked Galitzin tunnel, which is now cinder blocked up
L to R, Portage, Allegheny, Galitzin bores, from Tunnelhill side
L to R, Galitzin, Allegheny bores, from Galitzin side, both originally single tracked
Construction of the third tunnel, Galitzin bore ... It is a mystery ... How was the Allegheny tunnel originally double tracked ... then single tracked ... then recently double tracked ? I am guessing that rolling stock was narrower, allowing tightly spaced double tracks ?
Clearly marked UN Tower, but it looks like the location of AR tower ?
Perhaps it is prior to the Galitzin single track tunnel construction ?
