PRR 6723, M-1A, #1 of 4, 1953         
Mann. Here is the first of four successive duplicate 35mm color slides of photos taken by John M. Prophet III on 16 October 1953. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6723, an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during June of 1930 and retired in December of 1955 after 25 years of faithful service. In this context, it's pulling a train of empty hopper cars across the Susquehanna River via the Rockville Bridge near Marysville, Pennsylvania. (Gift from Brad Mann.)
