The Pennsylvania Railroad's steam locomotive class D5 (formerly Class G, pre-1895) comprised eighteen lightweight 4-4-0 locomotives for light duty, maintenance-of-way and branch-line service, constructed at the railroad's own Altoona Works during 1870–1873.[2]

They shared many parts with other standard classes, although less so with the heavy 4-4-0s on account of their lighter build; instead, they shared some components with 0-6-0 switcher classes F and H (later B1 and B2).[3] The Class G locomotives had a straight-topped boiler, unlike the wagon-top of the other 4-4-0 classes.

Got A New Life

by: Bar 7

For 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
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
And I loved and a-lovin' till I loved too much
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?
I guess I'm fallin'. Now what I'm tryin' to say
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, yeah
I said, you got what I want
And everything that I need
Now if you're hungry for love I got all you can eat
