Face off of Pennsy Power
Title:  Face off of Pennsy Power
Description:  An incoming Fairbanks Morse CFA16-4 #9493 faces a Baldwin RF-16 unit (center) and an EMD F7A unit (left). What an unusual moment for the three diesel suppliers to face off like this. And to think, there was no GE product around! No locaiton, date or photographer was listed for this unique photo but i would surmise it's somewhere around Altoona, PA.
