PRR 9724, BF-16, 1956         
Malinowski. Here is duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Robert R. Malinoski that was taken near Newport, Pennsylvania, on 11 October 1956. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9724 and a "Shark" B-unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #9724 is a BF-16 built in March of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. They are pulling a train of empty hopper cars westbound along the eastward-flowing Juniata River.
