PRR 1223
Pennsylvania Railroad 1223 is a 4-4-0 "American" type steam locomotive built in 1905 for the Pennsylvania Railroad by the railroad's own Altoona Works for passenger service. After being retired from active service, the locomotive ran excursion trains on the Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, Pennsylvania from 1965 to 1989 when it was removed from service requiring firebox repairs. Currently the engine is on static display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The 1223 is the only surviving example of the Pennsylvania Railroad D16sb class.
History of class
The class D16 locomotives of the Pennsylvania Railroad were the most modern of a long history of 4-4-0 type steam locomotives that the railroad used. The 1223 was home built by the railroad at its Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1905. As built it was a high speed passenger engine with tall driving wheels. However, the 4-4-0 type, long the mainstay of American passenger and freight service, was already becoming outmoded when the 1223 was built, being superseded by ever-larger engines. The Pennsy itself was pioneering steel passenger cars, which the public soon demanded for the implied increases in safety. The 1223 was eventually rebuilt with smaller driving wheels for local freight service, having been replaced on passenger trains by engines like the E6 Atlantics and K4 Pacifics. It was modernized as well, receiving superheaters [the "s" in D-16sb), piston valves, an electric headlight, and other improvements.

PRR 4876
Coordinates: 39°16′50.3″N 76°38′34.5″W / 39.280639°N 76.642917°W / 39.280639; -76.642917
PRR 4876 is a GG1-class electric locomotive located at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It was built in 1939 and was involved in the only accident to befall a GG1. In 1953, the locomotive overran the buffer stop and crashed into Union Station in Washington, D.C. after its brakes failed. A temporary concourse floor was erected over 4876 (which had broken through the original) for the upcoming inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower. After the inauguration it was shipped back to Altoona, Pennsylvania, for repairs and placed back into service.
Background
The GG1 was developed in the 1930s by General Electric as the replacement for the Pennsylvania Railroad's then standard electric locomotive, the P5a, and was based largely on the New Haven EP3. The GG1 was capable of a top speed of 100 miles per hour (160Â km/h), powered by its twelve 385 horsepower (287Â kW) traction motors. The prototype GG1, PRR 4800, was tested against Westinghouse's submission, the R1. The Pennsylvania selected the GG1 over the R1, as the R1 was not articulated and the GG1's traction motors were similar to ones already in use. An order for the first 57 of a total 139Â GG1s was placed in November 1934, with delivery starting in April 1935.

PRR 1737
The Pennsylvania Railroad's K4s class Pacific number 1737 was the prototype of the class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives that eventually would number 425 locomotives.
The Pennsylvania Railroad in 1914 needed a steam locomotive to haul the passenger trains that the smaller E class Atlantics (4-4-2) could not handle. The 1737 was the first K4s ever built for the PRR. In passenger service, the 1737 would handle passenger trains, like the railroads flagship passenger train, the Broadway Limited. As the 1930s began, the 1737 and the other K4s locomotives would have to double-head passenger trains. This is because the Pennsylvania Railroad had increased passenger service time tables. The K4s Pacifics were unable to keep up with the work. The "Standard Railroad Of The World" made a few attempts to replace the 1737 and its sisters. They were the classes: K5, S1, and the T1. None of the replacements were very successful in railroad service. With these being a failure, the K4s had to continue hauling passenger trains until the Pennsylvania Railroad replaced steam locomotives with the increasingly popular and less costly diesel-electric locomotives in 1957.

Those Great Locomotives - GG1
What some argue to be the most successful electric locomotives of all time, the GG1s were the electric powerhouse the Pennsylvania Railroad needed to haul trains along what now is the Northeast Corridor, providing service under the PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, the New Jersey Transit Department and Amtrak. But how good can a locomotive, whose bodyshell was designed by the same man who designed the Coca Cola bottle really be?

The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was one of the most influential and successful railroad companies in the United States, playing a crucial role in the development of the nation's transportation infrastructure. Chartered in 1846, the PRR began operations in 1847 and quickly grew into a vast network that connected the Midwest and Northeast, particularly linking Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. One of the key figures in the early history of the Pennsylvania Railroad was J. Edgar Thomson, who served as its first chief engineer and later as its president. Under Thomson's leadership, the PRR adopted innovative engi...

What some argue to be the most successful electric locomotives of all time, the GG1s were the electric powerhouse the Pennsylvania Railroad needed to haul trains along what now is the Northeast Corridor, providing service under the PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, the New Jersey Transit Department and Amtrak. But how good can a locomotive, whose bodyshell was designed by the same man who designed the Coca Cola bottle really be?

The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was one of the most influential and successful railroad companies in the United States, playing a crucial role in the development of the nation's transportation infrastructure. Chartered in 1846, the PRR began operations in 1847 and quickly grew into a vast network that connected the Midwest and Northeast, particularly linking Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
One of the key figures in the early history of the Pennsylvania Railroad was J. Edgar Thomson, who served as its first chief engineer and later as its president. Under Thomson's leadership, the PRR adopted innovative engineering practices and technologies, including the use of standard gauge track, which facilitated smoother and more efficient operations.
The railroad expanded rapidly during the 19th century, acquiring or constructing numerous branch lines and connecting with other railroads to create an extensive network. The completion of the Horseshoe Curve in 1854, an engineering marvel at the time, further enhanced the efficiency of the PRR's mainline through the Allegheny Mountains.
The Pennsylvania Railroad continued to grow and modernize, becoming the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization during the early 20th century. It played a crucial role in transporting goods and passengers, contributing significantly to the industrial and economic development of the regions it served.
The decline of the railroad industry in the mid-20th century had a profound impact on the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1968, the PRR merged with the New York Central Railroad to form the Penn Central Transportation Company, which eventually became part of the federally created Conrail in 1976.
Although the Pennsylvania Railroad itself no longer exists, its legacy endures through its contributions to the development of American railroads and its impact on the nation's transportation history. Many of its former routes and structures remain in use today as part of the modern rail network.

What some argue to be the most successful electric locomotives of all time, the GG1s were the electric powerhouse the Pennsylvania Railroad needed to haul trains along what now is the Northeast Corridor, providing service under the PRR, Penn Central, Conrail, the New Jersey Transit Department and Amtrak. But how good can a locomotive, whose bodyshell was designed by the same man who designed the Coca Cola bottle really be?

This is a short clip of three ex-PRR PC and Amtrak GG1's passing with the Leslie A-200 horns blasting. There has been a good many inquiries of what the GG-1's horn sounds like. First clip is a South Amboy on the NY&LB;, the other two clips are on the NEC at North Elizabeth, NJ Station. Clips where taken with a Kodak 8mm sound movie camera in 1977. Thanks for watching.

The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) was one of the most influential and successful railroad companies in the United States, playing a crucial role in the development of the nation's transportation infrastructure. Chartered in 1846, the PRR began operations in 1847 and quickly grew into a vast network that connected the Midwest and Northeast, particularly linking Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
One of the key figures in the early history of the Pennsylvania Railroad was J. Edgar Thomson, who served as its first chief engineer and later as its president. Under Thomson's leadership, the PRR adopted innovative engineering practices and technologies, including the use of standard gauge track, which facilitated smoother and more efficient operations.
The railroad expanded rapidly during the 19th century, acquiring or constructing numerous branch lines and connecting with other railroads to create an extensive network. The completion of the Horseshoe Curve in 1854, an engineering marvel at the time, further enhanced the efficiency of the PRR's mainline through the Allegheny Mountains.
The Pennsylvania Railroad continued to grow and modernize, becoming the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization during the early 20th century. It played a crucial role in transporting goods and passengers, contributing significantly to the industrial and economic development of the regions it served.
The decline of the railroad industry in the mid-20th century had a profound impact on the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1968, the PRR merged with the New York Central Railroad to form the Penn Central Transportation Company, which eventually became part of the federally created Conrail in 1976.
Although the Pennsylvania Railroad itself no longer exists, its legacy endures through its contributions to the development of American railroads and its impact on the nation's transportation history. Many of its former routes and structures remain in use today as part of the modern rail network.

PRR 1223
Pennsylvania Railroad 1223 is a 4-4-0 "American" type steam locomotive built in 1905 for the Pennsylvania Railroad by the railroad's own Altoona Works for passenger service. After being retired from active service, the locomotive ran excursion trains on the Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, Pennsylvania from 1965 to 1989 when it was removed from service requiring firebox repairs. Currently the engine is on static display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The 1223 is the only surviving example of the Pennsylvania Railroad D16sb class.
History of class
The class D16 locomotives of the Pennsylvania Railroad were the most modern of a long history of 4-4-0 type steam locomotives that the railroad used. The 1223 was home built by the railroad at its Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1905. As built it was a high speed passenger engine with tall driving wheels. However, the 4-4-0 type, long the mainstay of American passenger and freight service, was already becoming outmoded when the 1223 was built, being superseded by ever-larger engines. The Pennsy itself was pioneering steel passenger cars, which the public soon demanded for the implied increases in safety. The 1223 was eventually rebuilt with smaller driving wheels for local freight service, having been replaced on passenger trains by engines like the E6 Atlantics and K4 Pacifics. It was modernized as well, receiving superheaters [the "s" in D-16sb), piston valves, an electric headlight, and other improvements.

Got A New Life
by: Bar 7For love, I bought diamond rings
For love, I gave my everything
For love, travelled across the land
Through the hail and the snow and the drivin' rain
For love, what did I get?
One love I wish I could forget
Oh Lord, now, what it's doin' to me
No more
I think it's drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
Then I opened my eyes and there she was
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Too long, I lost everything I had
All my life I was longin', I was feeling sad
Didn't know what I was goin' to do
Lo and behold that's when, a, I met you
We turned it all around from a grey to blue
And I'm feeling more like me and all because of you
Oh Lord, now what ya doin' to me?
Give me more
I think you're drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
And then I opened my eyes and there she was
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
And I loved and a-lovin' till I loved too much
And I gave it everything until my love lost its touch
Till there was nothin' left worth savin'
Oh, and I know that everything I need to make me feel complete
Can't you make a believer of me?
I guess I'm fallin'. Now what I'm tryin' to say
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for, yeah
I said, you got what I want
And everything that I need
Now if you're hungry for love I got all you can eat
