| Here are pages 30-31 of the April 1946 issue of "Trains" magazine. They're the fifth and sixth pages of a nine-page story by Mr. A.C. Kalmbach entitled "The Era of Improvement." Photo Caption: "An afternoon local out from Philadelphia passes a light freight train on the main line west of the city. This was taken in 1905, and the open-platform wooden coaches of the local are pulled by a 4-4-0 of the classic D-16 design." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #96, a D-16A (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata during 1897, rebuilt as a D-16 in January of 1904, renumbered "096" after July of 1910, and retired in July of 1922 after 25 years of faithful service. |
