PRR 7186, EFS-17M, 1965 |
| Description: |
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 6 June 1965. Shown at the left (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7186 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EFS-17M road switchers built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7186 was constructed in November of 1957. They are pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight and are about to pass under the 12th Street Footbridge. Note the on-coming ore train and the two coal trains on the right. Also visible is the PRR's two-story Freight Station at the left and one of the 12th Street Car Shop's buildings at the right. (#17 of 44) |

Slope to Works. H ere is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 6 June 1965. Shown here (F to R) are PRR engines #6011 and #6010. Both are EF-25A's built by GM-EMD in March of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. They're pulling a westbound ore train that's passing under the 12th Street Footbridge. This train will surmount the Allegheny Mountains ~ visible in the distance ~ on its way to the steel mills of Pittsburgh. Note the two coal trains at the left, the westbound freight train on the adjoining track, and a single passenger-helper locomotive a bit further over. Elements of the Footbridge occupy the foreground. (#19 of 44) |
