"Trains" Magazine, April 1952
Title:  "Trains" Magazine, April 1952
Description:  Here is a photo taken by Mr. George J. Sennhauser. It was published originally in the April 1952 issue of "Trains & Travel" magazine, page 47. Revised Caption: "Large diesel transfer locomotives sometimes offer their crews no more visibility ahead than did the steam engines they replaced. The fireman on this big Lima-Hamilton diesel will see around the left-hand curves of the Pennsylvania's Panhandle Division between Dennison and Mingo Junction, O., before the engineer will. The 2500-horsepower engine is Pennsy's No. 8948." Shown here is a view from the fireman's seat in PRR engine #8948, an LS-25M built in August of 1951 and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service.
