This
video is about Pennsylvania Railroad 4-6-2 Pacific Number 1361.
From
her display site on Horseshoe Curve to an excursion on the Nittany &
Bald Eagle Railroad, this video gives you an in-depth look at a
locomotive that was the keystone of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s
mainline passenger service.
We'll
show you a little history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, using some
vintage 16mm color and black & white film.
You’ll
see the 1361 removed from her Horseshoe Curve display site. Then it’s
out on the road for 1361’s shakedown run and her first excursion.
We’ll take you trackside for scores of dramatic runbys and pacing
scenes.
After
watching these 1918 graduate of Altoona’s Juniata Shops, we think
you’ll agree, she is certainly “Juniata’s Jewel”.
Digitally
re-mastered, ”Juniata’s Jewel” brings you almost an hour of
classic Pennsylvania Railroad steam action!
