Pennsylvania Railroad L class Mikado 2-8-2 coal burning steam locomotive # 1365, is seen while preparing to depart with a manifest freight train across bridge, late 1930's. The fireman is seen in his cab window peering ahead. Check out the old convertible, which looks like a Ford to me. The car also had no spare tire, and only a wire rim is mounted on the rear end. If you look ahead of the locomotive to the left you can see one of the B class switcher with a slope back tender working some cars. Gee, with that NYC box car coupled to the tender it represents the unfortunate future for PC. Notice the employee standing against the rail by the NYC box car.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of Railroad images, however, this negative came from a friends personal collection.
