Robert Hess	General	The location here is Manhattan Transfer in Harrison, NJ. No. 5426 is departing with a Westbound train. The Worthington plant is partially visible in the background. Note that the tender still has the stripes, with a rectangular box around the cab numerals. These were omitted as per a drawing issued in 1932, so the photo was probably taken closer to that year.	7/3/2022 12:12:35 PM
