The
Freedom Train PA-1
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.
