PRR 9860, EFP-15, 1965 |
| Description: |
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 6 June 1965. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9860, an EFP-15 built by GM-EMD in July of 1952 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. It's pulling a three-car "extra" freight train, which is about to pass under the 4th Street Footbridge. One track over, the westbound mixed-cargo freight train pulled by engine #9525 is still waiting! (#39 of 44) |

Rainy. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Prominent here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8614, #8609, #9866, #9852-B, #9641-B, and #9860. #8614 and #8609 were built by the American Locomotive Company in 1956 and rated at 2,400 horsepower each. #8614 is an AS-24M, but #8609 is an APS-24MS; they are serving as front-end helpers in this context. #9866, #9852-B, #9641-B, and #9860 were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9866 is an EFP-15 built in August of 1952. #9852-B is an EFP-15 built in June of 1952 and retired in October of 1967. #9641-B is an EF-15A built in March of 1950. And #9860 is an EFP-15 built in July of 1952. They're threading the interlocking at 14th Street with a 95-car iron-ore train on their way to the Hollidaysburg Branch turnout, after which they'll follow the New Portage Branch line up the Allegheny Mountains ~ via the Muleshoe Curve ~ to Gallitzin and the steel mills of Pittsburgh. Also visible (L to R) are the Altoona Passenger Station, the 12th Street Footbridge, a westbound passenger train about to depart, an eastbound passenger train in the process of departing, and several of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shop buildings. Photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge. (#16 of 21) |
