PRR East Altoona Turntable, c. 1957         
Here is an original photo by Douglas C. Jones that was taken just East of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. In the center ~ taking a spin on the East Altoona Turntable ~ is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6847, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1926 and retired in May of 1957. Visible at the left is the front end of engine #6831, an M-1 (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by Baldwin in September of 1926 and retired in August of 1955. The shadow in the foreground is cast by the massive Tipple.
