EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Compound Passenger Locomotive No. 2512 De Glehn, a magnificent engineering feat of the early 1910s railway era in the United States. The photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the locomotive in its prime on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Compound Passenger Locomotive was a significant advancement in steam locomotive technology, designed to improve both efficiency and power. This particular engine, named De Glehn in honor of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Thomas De Glehn, was a testament to the railroad industry's relentless pursuit of innovation. The locomotive's compound design allowed for the reuse of exhaust steam, which increased the engine's efficiency and power output. The result was a locomotive that could pull heavier trains at greater speeds than its predecessors. In this photograph, we see the locomotive's impressive size and complexity, with its large, domed boiler and intricate mechanical components. The men operating the engine, one at the controls and the other shoveling coal into the firebox, add a sense of scale and human element to the scene. The Pennsylvania Railroad was a key player in the development of the American railway system, and the Compound Passenger Locomotive was a testament to its commitment to progress. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the power, beauty, and ingenuity of the steam locomotive era.
