| Marianchuk. Here is a postal card that could be entitled "Pennsylvania Railroad No. 1223." Caption On Reverse: "Locomotive No. 1223, built more than half a century ago at the Pennsylvania Railroad's famous Juniata Shops, is the one remaining 'American' type from the Pennsylvania's steam roster of thoroughbreds. Here, she poses proudly on the Strasburg Rail Road main line, fresh from the paint shop of America's oldest short line railroad. Photo by Jim E. Hess." Engine #1223 is a D-16SB (4-4-0) "American" built in Juniata as a D-16B during 1905, rebuilt as a D-16SB, sold to the Strasburg Rail Road in October of 1960, and presently on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. |
