Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken near East Saint Louis, Illinois, c. 1938. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5423 and another locomotive whose road number is not recorded. #5423 is a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during February of 1927 and retired in November of 1957 after 30 years of faithful service. In this context, they're rattlin' the diamonds with the "Spirit of St. Louis." Gary Mittner Collection. |
