FM. Here is a duplicate 35mm B&W slide of a photo by Fred McLeod that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 4 July 1950. Photo Caption: "Double 2-10-0 engines get a run on heavy-duty freight heading for the Horseshoe. July 4, 1950." Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4424, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during June of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in August of 1944, and retired in January of 1953 after 30 years of faithful service.
