Here is page one of a six-page cover article by Robert Emerson & Kurt Bell entitled "The Pennsylvania Railroad's Historical Collection." It was published originally in the Fall 1996 issue of "Vintage Rails" magazine, page 80. In the center is a partial view of PRR engine #5976, a BS-10A built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in April of 1948 and rated at 1,000 horsepower. At the throttle is William D. Volkmer; in 1964-1965, he worked there as a PRR Junior Mechanical Engineer. Photo by Ken Douglas. |
