PRR 6734, M-1B, 1956         
TRB. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Bill Price that was taken at the Rockville Bridge near Marysville, Pennsylvania, on 10 October 1956. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6734, an M-1B (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an M-1A during June of 1930, rebuilt as an M-1B in August of 1948, and retired in September of 1959 after 29 years of faithful service. In this context, it's just beginning the journey from Enola to Altoona with a mixed-cargo freight train. The Bridge is at the left.
