PRR 6727, M-1A, c. 1955
Description:
Kern. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken near Duncannon, Pennsylvania, on 24 July 1955. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6727 and #5872. #6727 is an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during May of 1930 and retired in August of 1956. #5872 is an EP-20 built by GM-EMD in April of 1949 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. Symbolically speaking, oil power is about to eclipse coal power forever!
