It was published originally in the October 1979 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 31. Photo Caption: "Final flower of 4-8-2 development on the Pennsylvania was the M-1a, immediately identifiable by her huge smokebox saddle. Although fitted with a brakeman's doghouse on her huge tender, Baldwin-built 6707 was given passenger-power striping."
