Pennsylvania Railroad M1a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 6759, is seen while on display at Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York City, 1939 - 1940
Pennsylvania Railroad M1a class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive # 6759, is seen while on display at Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York City, 1939 - 1940. This is a grand example of a PRR workhorse steam locomotive that was used right until the end of steam in 1957, to haul heavy trains, but with its 72 inch drivers could still step right along. Note at this time the front end of the locomotive included two sets of marker lamps, one set located on the pilot beam and the other set mounted to the upper portion of the smoke box. Notice too the dog house used by the front brakeman that is situated on the tender's water deck.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of Railroad images, however, this negative came from a friends personal collection.
