Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken near Marysville, Pennsylvania, on 23 April 1957. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #1138 and #6793. #1138 is an L-1S (2-8-2) "Mikado" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during January of 1916 and retired in February of 1960. #6793 is an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Lima Locomotive Works during April of 1930 and retired in September of 1959. In this context, they're crossing the Rockville Bridge over the Susquehanna River with a mixed-cargo freight train and are threading the interlocking on their way to the Enola Yards.
