Title:
PRR 8665, AS-18AM, 1959
Description:
Volkmer. Here is an image of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken near Allegrippus, Pennsylvania, on 25 September 1959. Shown here just West of MG Tower (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8665, #8662, and #8655. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8665 was constructed in February of 1958, #8662 was built in January of 1958, while #8670 was fabricated in December of 1957. In this context, they're serving as tail-end pushers for a mixed-cargo freight train on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where the pushers will be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Also visible are Montour open hopper #17455 and PRR N-5 cabin car #477719. William E. Burket Collection.

4th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1961. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #8655, #8676, and #8661.

Visible on the left are numerous passenger cars marshalled for reconditioning in the PRR's Passenger Car Shops behind them. Photo taken from the 4th Street Bridge. ("Red Shift" slide converted to Black & White.)
