Here is the 25th of 33 color prints of calendar art works that were commissioned by the Pennsylvania Railroad from 1925 through 1958. Shown here is Grif Teller's painting entitled "Crossroads Of Commerce." It was published originally in 1950. Depicted in the foreground is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6444, a J-1 (2-10-4) "Texas" built in Juniata during November of 1943 and retired in February of 1960 after just 17 years of revenue service. In the background, a westbound passenger train is crossing the left-to-right flowing Susquehanna River via the Rockville Bridge. Peter's Mountain dominates the distance. |
