Kern. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred R. Kern that was taken near Duncannon, Pennsylvania, on 4 July 1955. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6717, an M-1B (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an M-1A during April of 1930, rebuilt in Juniata as an M-1B in March of 1948, and retired in September of 1958 after 28 years of faithful service. It's pulling a train of empty gondola and hopper cars out of Enola to Altoona. A small portion of the Susquehanna River is visible at the far left.
