| Here are two photos taken by Mr. R.J. Foster. They were published originally in the June 1943 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 30. Partial Caption: "Under pressure of war traffic, a new design has appeared in quantities more than experimental. It is the J-1 Texas type, of which several dozen are now pulling freight on the line through Indianapolis to St. Louis." Top Photo: Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6460, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during January of 1943 and retired in September of 1957 after just 14 years of revenue service. |
