PRR West Philadelphia, #1 of 2, 1943
Description:
Here is the first of two photos taken by Mr. Harold M. Lambert. It was published originally in the December 1943 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 22. Photo Caption: "The smokiest, dirtiest place on a railroad is the engine terminal. But because the locomotive personifies the railroad to most people, the roundhouse would easily top any popularity poll, and, as shown by these photos at West Philadelphia on the Pennsylvania Railroad, the engine terminal is extremely photogenic. The roundhouse itself is not so much a garage for locomotives as a place for light repairs, and in these days of heavy traffic [during WWII], the railroads are turning locomotives so fast that none of them tarry in roundhouses any longer than absolutely necessary to keep them in first-class operating condition." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #198, an E-6S (4-4-2) "Atlantic" built in Juniata during August of 1914 and retired in April of 1951 after 37 years of faithful service..

"Trains" Magazine, June 1947
Description:
Here is a photo that was published originally in the June 1947 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 61. Photo Caption: "The Paoli Local [February Trains] was not always electrified. In its earliest days, it was drawn by horsepower, then, for more than half a century, by steam. Although the 'Main Line' was four-track in 1908, as it is now, some changes other than electrification have taken place since that year, when this photograph of the station at St. Davids was taken. Lower-quadrant semaphore signals have given way to color-light signals, station platforms have been lengthened, and the water tower in the background is no longer needed. The schedule has been speeded up by nine minutes between Philadelphia and St. Davids. Now M.U. cars have replaced the Class E-2a 4-4-2 shown in the photograph, which is from the collection of George B. Ritz, 1351 Fillmore Street, Philadelphia."
