Volkmer. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken in Enola, Pennsylvania, on 10 October 1962. Prominent here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9633 and another "Shark" whose road number is not recorded. #9633 was built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton as BF-16 number "9726" in March of 1951 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. In 1959, it was rebuilt with a 1,800 horsepower engine by the American Locomotive Company and renumbered "9633" ~ Class ABF-18. It was retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. Also visible at the left are two unidentified "AF" Class units and the now-obsolete coaling tipple. Produced and distributed by FJC Products of Newport, Delaware.
