Once the Freedom Train finished its tour the locomotive returned to the ALCO plant in Schenectady where it was prepared for its new owner, the GM&O Railroad. The plaques (there were two) the men are looking at noted the engine's work on the Freedom Train and were attached to the locomotive's exterior just above the leading trucks. Only four PA-1 locomotives exist today (in various states of disrepair or restoration) -- two are back in the United States from Mexico and two remain in Mexico. Unfortunately, the one that pulled the Freedom Train is not among them. Image: Chester Mack family collection. |
