PRR 6743, M-1A, 1946         
Huntingdon. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Bill Price that was taken near Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, on 7 October 1946. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6743, an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during July of 1930 and retired in February of 1956 after 26 years of faithful service. In this context, it's pulling a mixed-cargo freight train out of Altoona to Enola.
