| Here is the first of four successive duplicate 35mm color slides of photos by Nelson Bowers that were taken near Bordentown, New Jersey, on Sunday, 13 April 1947. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6538 and #6513. Both are Class "E" (4-4-2) "Atlantics" built in Juniata. #6538 was built as E-5 number "38" for the New York, Philadelphia, & Norfolk Railroad in 1913; rebuilt as an E-5S in 1913; acquired by the PRR and renumbered "6538" in August of 1918; and retired in September of 1949. #6513 was built as E-6 number "46" for the New York, Philadelphia, & Norfolk Railroad in 1914; acquired by the PRR and renumbered "1649" in April of 1917; renumbered "6513" in August of 1918; and retired in May of 1951. Looks like the engineman is adjusting something on #6513. ("Stoneborobranch"; #2 of 28) |
