Happy Switcher Saturday everyone.
Rich- Thanks for getting us started again.
My contribution is a picture of a Pennsylvania Railroad B6s with a nice even number, #9000, seen with its "rods down." Built in 1906 by Juniata Shops, unknown when it was scrapped, seen here in supposedly 1934 with its headlight covered. Photographed here in New Castle, Pa, it was assigned to the Pittsburgh, Youngstown & Ashtabula Railway, part of Pennsy's Lines West.
Below is a stock certificate for the P, Y &A:
Since this locomotive was build at Juniata, like so many others, here is one of the entrance gates that workers would have passed, "back in the day," circa 1919, 13 years after this locomotive was built.
Wording on the top sign says: National Railroad Accident Prevention Drive
October….1919
Bottom Sign:
The women workers did their bit in the war game. Put them in the first Boat for the “Shore of Safety.”
