Volkmer. Here is an image of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 18 May 1959.

FSF. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1963. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8670, #8664, and another unit whose road number is not recorded.
