PRR 6987, M-1, c. 1955         
SFM. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide (converted to B&W) of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6987, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Lima Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in March of 1956 after 30 years of faithful service. Looks to me like the second pair of wheels in the leading truck are MIA! The photographer's name, the date, and the location are not recorded.
