| Mann. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, c. 1963. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9741 and two more "BF" Class units whose road numbers are not recorded. #9741 is a BF-16 built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in January of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a merchandise freight train up eastern slope of the Allegheny Mountains, and are about to pass through one of the tunnels at Gallitzin on their way West to the Conway Yards.
