FSF. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide that was taken from the 4th Street Footbridge in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #9732 and a "BF" Class B-unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #9732 is a BF-16 built in March of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. Visible in the background is a small portion of the PRR's Passenger Car Shops. The photographer's name and the exact date are not recorded. |
