Atterbury's M-1 Engines: Part 2, Page 49, 1979 |
| Description: |
Here is page six of a six-page article by Bert Pennypacker entitled "Atterbury's Engines: Part 2 ~ Why The M-1's Outlasted The Duplex Drives." It was published originally in the November 1979 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 49. Top Photo Caption: "If there was a sight more impressive than one M-1a in action it was that of two such machines; 6738 and 6795 shake up the south side of Chicago on April 10, 1947." Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6738 and #6795. Both are M-1B (4-8-2) "Mountain" steam locomotives. #6738 was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an M-1A in June of 1930, rebuilt in Juniata as an M-1B in October of 1948, and retired in September of 1959. #6795 was built by the Lima Locomotive Works as an M-1A in April of 1930, rebuilt in Juniata as an M-1B in August of 1944, and retired in December of 1956. Middle Photo Caption: "Q-2 4-4-6-4 6186 and M-1 6985 chatted in Fort Wayne, Ind., yard. Latter was destined to outlive the former thanks to simpler machinery." Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #6186 and #6985. #6186 is a Q-2 (4-4-6-4) duplex built in Juniata in April of 1945 and retired in December of 1955. #6985 is an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by Lima in September of 1926 and retired in August of 1956. |
