Joseph D. Lovell's Pennsylvania Railroad System Locomotive Rosters
Date: 1866-1946
Collection abstract: Joseph D. Lovell was a schedule foreman at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Juniata Shops at Altoona during the 1920s, 30s and 40s, by which point those shops were the company's sole facilities for constructing locomotives. Lovell had an interest in the history of steam locomotives and had access to the company's original locomotive records, which have long since become lost or scattered. Lovell's locomotive rosters constitute a partial listing of Pennsylvania Railroad steam, electric and early diesel locomotives.
