PRR 6847, M-1, c. 1957         
Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken just East of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6847, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in May of 1957. After having been turned around on the East Altoona Turntable, it's now heading back toward the Tipple and the East Altoona Roundhouse. Partially visible at the left is engine #6831, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by Baldwin in September of 1926 and retired in August of 1955.
