PRR 22, L-1S, 1954
Description:
Here is an original photo by John S. Fisher that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, in November of 1954. Caption On Reverse: "PRR Class L1 Mikado. Nov. '54." Partially visible here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #22, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during February of 1917 and retired in May of 1957 after 40 years of faithful service. Looks to me like it's been put into long-term storage.
