Title:  PRR 4728, P-5A, 1961
Description:  Meadows. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Engine Service Tracks at Meadows Yard near Kearny, New Jersey, on 28 January 1961. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #4719 and six more units whose numbers are not recorded. #4728 is a P-5A (2-C-2) built by Baldwin-Westinghouse during December of 1932, rated at 3,750 horsepower, and retired in August of 1963 after 31 years of faithful service. Looks to me like all of these units are "Out of Service" since none of their pantographs are in the "up" position. ("Stoneborobranch"; #30 of 32)
