Prominent here is AMTK engine #4935, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) electric built in Juniata as Pennsylvania Railroad number "4935" during March of 1943, rated at 4,620 horsepower, and presently on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. In this context, it's on its inaugural run after being refurbished pulling the northbound "Murray Hill" from Washington to New York City. The photographer's name and the location are not recorded.
