| Here is page two of a four-page article by Frederick Westing entitled "Pennsy's Pluperfect Pacifics." It was published originally in the September 1957 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 53. Partial Caption: "'Mussolini' ~ as Pennsy crews called their Caprotti-geared K-5 ~ has a roll on Train 15 as she pounds through Narberth, Pa., seven miles west of Philadelphia." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5699, a K-5 (4-6-2) "Pacific" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during March of 1929 and retired in September of 1953 after 24 years of faithful service.
