Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in January of 1961. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9627 and two more "AF" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. #9627 is an AF-16 built by the American Locomotive Company in December of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in January of 1967. They are rockin' through the North Philadelphia Station with exactly one gondola and one cabin car on a frigid Winter's day. |
