| Here is page 21 of a 21-page article by Jim Hilker, Jr., entitled "A History of the Hollidaysburg & Petersburg Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad." It was published originally in the Spring 2007 issue of "Keystone" magazine, page 60. Top Photo Caption: "I-1sa #1753 pushing on the rear of a freight train on the H&P Branch in September 1955. The Frankstown Branch of the Juniata River (which the Petersburg Branch follows much of the way) is in the foreground." Shown here are two photos by Philip R. Hastings of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1753, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built in Juniata as an I-1S during October of 1918, rebuilt as an I-1SA in September of 1947, and retired in October of 1958 after 40 years of faithful service. |
