Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken in Marysville, Pennsylvania, on 1 January 1954. The photographer is not identified. Prominent here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6851 and another locomotive whose road number is not recorded. Both are 4-8-2 "Mountains." #6851 is an M-1 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in October of 1955 after 29 years of faithful service. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train from Altoona to the Enola Yards. Also visible (F to R) are a number of old freight cars stored in the Marysville Yard, ice floes in the Susquehanna River, the town of Fort Hunter across the River, and the jutting rocks of Blue Mountain on the far right. |
