Nostalgia & History > PRR J1Date: 11/23/22 17:10 PRR J1 Author: MacBeau A southbound mixed between Worthington and Columbus, Ohio on the Sandusky line that was eventually sold to N&W. Credit Richard Egen for this 1958 view.
Be of good cheer, —Mac www.lowellamrine.com ![]() Date: 11/23/22 17:48 Re: PRR J1 Author: NKP779 Excellent photo - thanks for sharing. The big year with the Santa Fe 2-10-4's was 1956. I don't think this could have been any later than 1957. No date on the slide?
Date: 11/23/22 17:58 Re: PRR J1 Author: MacBeau Was in a group of 1958 slides, that's how i got the date. They were still running when Egen got his camera in that year as the last 25 were scrapped in '59.

Bob Date: 11/23/22 19:06 Re: PRR J1 Author: ironmtn A fine image - thank you. Oh, what a show that must have been! And this Pennsy fan, if he's even half worth his keystone, sure wishes he had been there.This photo gives a wonderful, tantalizing hint, and does it very well. It's always great when the past speaks so evocatively as in this image.

That gave N&W a linkage to their new acquisitions of the NKP and Wabash and a direct coal route to Sandusky Docks. Date: 11/24/22 08:01 Re: PRR J1 Author: train1275 Wow, love those locomotives.
