Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6815, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in June of 1959 after 33 years of faithful service. In this context, it's pulling a westbound merchandise freight train. A small portion of the East-flowing Susquehanna River is visible in the background.
