This is a brochure, put out by the PRR in 1925, for ASME. This booklet was given to me in brand new condition straight from a storage box in the Juniata Shop in 2006.
An unused Juniata rebuilders plate from Conrail days.

One of these bricks is from an erecting shop at the Altoona Machine Shops; the other is from the East Altoona Roundhouse.
When the Juniata Shop makes major modifications on locomotives for another company, they get permission from EMD and modify the original manuals to create a new operators manual. From left to right: NJT GP40PH-2B, NJT F40PH-2CAT, MNCR F40PH-2CAT.
This is a one-of-a-kind sign made for an exhibition advertising the commuter rebuilds done by Juniata.
This is an original Altoona Works builders plate from 1 of just 14 B-1 electrics built in 1935 as a single unit.
This is an employee badge from the Altoona Works required during WW II.
This small whistle came from the cab of a GG1 electric. It was for the signal line and measures about seven inches long. It might have been homemade in the Juniata Shop.
This booklet is a copy of the results of the testing done on the prototype T1's in the Altoona test plant.

For sure this is a lot to take in all at once! What a collection. There are several Altoona builders plates in this photo.
Here we have some number plates.

Here we have a couple of checks from the Logan House. On the left is a coat check, and on the right is a baggage check.
These are all tool checks from the Juniata Shops. Five are stamped with the same number, and presumed to have belonged to the same employee.
This operator's manual covers the Conrail SD70MACs, all of which were built at the Juniata Shops.
This operator's manual covers the first group of 10 Norfolk Southern SD70Ms, which were built at the Juniata Shops.
I haven't figured out with 100% certainty what this is just yet. It's double sided.
Six tool checks from the Altoona Car Shops.
This extremely rare plate sold 11/2011 for $6300. There were only 12 E5 built which were later upgraded with superheaters and classed E5s.
This and the next plate are an interesting comparison. This is an original Baldwin plate which was modified with the addition of the 'A' when the engine was upgraded from I1s to I1sa.
This plate from a slightly newer I1sa is a PRR recast for when the engine was upgraded to I1sa.
You don't seen a matching set of B1 plates every day!
Examples of two P5a plates here, one from Westinghouse and one from the Altoona Works.
This plate was located in the cab of an engine to show where the minimum safe water level is. It also seems to show the build date of the boiler.
In the beginning, the Altoona Machine Shops did not assign any construction numbers. (not until 1892) This is a 'new' plate made for a 2-8-0 which shows the old and new class designations. They didn't know the exact construction number so just made it all zeros. A very rare piece here.
Cast iron oval plate for a J1a.
A5s 0-4-0 builders plate.
Here's another very rare builders plate. This is a Baldwin plate from a PRR BP60 centipede locomotive.
A keystone number plate from PRR 6194 Q2 4-4-6-4
I believe this keystone number plate belonged to an E6s 4-4-0.
