Viewing Album: PRR: "Pennsy" Magazine Illustrations ~ 1952-1968
By:
Thomas C. Ayers
Dates:
6/1/1952 - 2/1/1968
Album Info:
Here are several photos that were published originally in "Pennsy" magazine, the Pennsylvania Railroad's in-house organ for its employees and retirees. At first, it was a glossy, large-format production issued monthly. In later years, the glossy, large format was retained ~ but it was issued just six times a year. And rather much like the merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads, the once-monthly "Pennsy" magazine lost both its gloss and its size during its final years of production. First Issue: June 1st, 1952. Last Issue: February 1st, 1968. Also included is one original PRR employee photo from 1923.

"Pennsy" Magazine, November-December 1960
Description:
Here is a photo from an article entitled "The New Electrics." It was published originally in the November-December 1960 issue of "Pennsy" magazine, page 1. Photo Caption: "The E-44 produces 4,400 horsepower compared with the P-5's 3,750, and has greater acceleration or get-away ability. Another important feature is that the entire weight of the E-44 rests on its driving wheels, not partially on guiding trucks as in the P-5. This gives the new locomotive greater adhesion, which means less wheel slippage with correspondingly less wear on wheels and rails." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4400, an E-44 built by General Electric in October of 1960 and rated at 4,400 horsepower. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded.
