PRR 22, L-1S, 1954
Description:
Here is an original photo by John S. Fisher that was taken in Columbus, Ohio, in November of 1954. Caption On Reverse: "PRR Class L1 Mikado. Nov. '54." Partially visible here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #22, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during February of 1917 and retired in May of 1957 after 40 years of faithful service. Looks to me like it's been put into long-term storage.

"Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," Page 149, 1974
Description:
Westing. Here is a photo that was published originally in Fred Westing's 1974 book entitled "Pennsy Steam And Semaphores," page 149. Partial Caption: "In 1921, the Southern Pacific Company ordered 50 locomotives of the 2-10-2 type. These engines were completed in 1922, and Samuel Vauclain thought this a fine opportunity to provide a demonstration of American industry. A group of twenty of these giant locomotives were, therefore, herded together to form a train that was known as the Prosperity Special." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #121, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during December 1917 and retired in February of 1958 after 41 years of faithful service. Note the railroader standing atop #121's tender!
