PRR 1537, L-1S, 1956         
Coal Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the 46th Street Enginehouse in West Philadelphia, on 12 May 1956. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #1537, an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built in Juniata during August of 1916 and retired in October of 1956 after 40 years of faithful service. It's already been condemned and is being "cannibalized."
