| Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania, during March of 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8907 and #8909. Both are AS-16M road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company in April of 1951 and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #8907 was retired in October of 1967, while #8909 made it into the Penn Central era as number "5409."
