PRR A1
The Pennsylvania Railroad's class A1 was a class of 0-4-0 type steam locomotives.
History
The Pennsylvania Railroad's class A1 was a class of 0-4-0 switcher type steam locomotive. When the A1 was introduced into service, 0-4-0s were being used by other railroads. In time the 0-6-0 came and other railroads neglected the 0-4-0. But, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, this wasn't happening. This is because, the PRR had a bunch of tight trackage and street trackage as well. The Pennsylvania Railroad elected to use a small locomotive to operate these tight and confined tracks. By the 1920s the Pennsylvania Railroad class A1 was greatly replaced by the even larger class A5s, the largest 0-4-0s on the Pennsylvania Railroad's roster of 0-4-0s in service at the time. By the 1950s as the diesel switchers became available for easier and more efficient switching duties, the Pennsylvania Railroad started to replace the 0-4-0s and 0-6-0s notably the Pennsylvania Railroad class B6sb switchers with diesel switchers. In 1957, as with all Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotives still in service, they were completely replaced by the diesel locomotive.

Got A New Life
by: Bar 7For love, I bought diamond rings
For love, I gave my everything
For love, travelled across the land
Through the hail and the snow and the drivin' rain
For love, what did I get?
One love I wish I could forget
Oh Lord, now, what it's doin' to me
No more
I think it's drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
Then I opened my eyes and there she was
I got another life today
I got another life today
A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses
I got another life today
I got another life today
You're everything I needed
Yeah, you shook my world
You're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Too long, I lost everything I had
All my life I was longin', I was feeling sad
Didn't know what I was goin' to do
Lo and behold that's when, a, I met you
We turned it all around from a grey to blue
And I'm feeling more like me and all because of you
Oh Lord, now what ya doin' to me?
Give me more
I think you're drivin' me crazy
When nothin' can save me
I never thought I'd find me another love
And then I opened my eyes and there she was

A new chance for the new romance
New eyes, new nose
And everything smellin' like roses

Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for
Yeah, you're just what I been lookin' for

And I gave it everything until my love lost its touch
Till there was nothin' left worth savin'
Oh, and I know that everything I need to make me feel complete
Can't you make a believer of me?
