PRR 9470, FF-20, 1956 |
| Description: |
Mann. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken near Marysville, Pennsylvania, in December of 1956. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9470 and another unit whose number is not recorded. Both are FF-20's built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #9470 was constructed in February of 1948 and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-A set is heading West to Altoona along side of the East-flowing Susquehanna River in the background. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |

| Description: |
TRB. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Summerdale, Pennsylvania, c. 1961. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9470 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are FF-20's built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #9470 was constructed in February of 1948 and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B set is about to enter the Enola Yards with an eastbound mixed-cargo freight train. Partially visible in the right distance is the Rockville Bridge as it spans the left-to-right flowing Susquehanna River. |
