Pennsylvania & Western RR -
I
t’s a pleasant late spring day in western Pennsylvania of
the early 1950s. You’re the engineer of an old PRR class
N1s 2-10-2 number 9860, headed westbound. Behind you
stretches train EC-11, a long consist of general freight mostly
bound for recently opened Conway Yard in Pittsburgh. At the
rear of your train is an N8 cabin car (caboose, to you non-Pennsy
fans) occupied by your conductor and rear brakeman. You’ve
been routed over the Pennsylvania & Western subdivision today
and that will make for a scenic yet challenging journey.
