PRR 6739, M-1B, 1956 |
| Description: |
MDiv. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Bill Price that was taken near Newport, Pennsylvania, in 11 October 1956. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6739, an M-1B (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an M-1A during June of 1930, rebuilt in Juniata as an M-1B by 1953, and retired in April of 1958 after 28 years of faithful service. In this context, it's hauling a fully-loaded mineral train out of Altoona and the coal mines of Western Pennsylvania to eastern consumer markets. ("Stoneborobranch"; #22 of 56) |
