PRR 6832, M-1, 1952         
MDiv. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Bill Price that was taken in Newport, Pennsylvania, on 30 May 1952. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6832, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in January of 1954 after 28 years of faithful service. In this context, it's passing through the Newport Passenger Station with a string of empty hopper cars on their way back to Altoona and the coal mines of Western Pennsylvania.
