For OH/PA folks, there are 2 M1A2's along US 6N in Albion, PA.

Nameplates say the guns are both HOWITZER, MEDIUM, TOWED, 155 MM, M114A2,
on M1A2 carriages.

One is downtown by the B+LE tracks, the other is a bit east at a memorial park.

Nameplates show that one of them was originally an M1A1, date is 1944.
Both carriages from Rock Island.
