# 10. "Mountain Monster"

# 6755 is at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, Strasburg, Pa. Pennsylvania Railroad class M1b Mountain 4-8-2 #6755. This magnificent dual service engine was built by the PRR at Altoona in 1930. The M1 class was considered by many to be the best steam engine the PRR ever owned. The M1 proved to be the most valuable on the railroad's mountainous Middle & Pittsburgh Divisions. Behind the engine is a "Coast-to-Coast" tender designed for extra capacity to allow long distance service. The tender holds 31½ tons of coal and carries 22,090 gallons of water. The picture verifies it as a gorgeous hunk of iron.
