PRR 8656, AS-18AM, 1965 |
| Description: |
Rainy. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #8656, #8655, #5896, and #5716. #8656 and 8655 are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1957 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each; they are serving as "helpers" in this context. #5896 and #5716 are EP-22's built by EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each; #5896 was built in 1951, but #5716 was build in 1952. They are pulling a 17-car westbound passenger train up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Pittsburgh and points West. Also visible are numerous "Ore Jennies" in a westbound iron-ore train and several buildings of the PRR's 12th Street Shops. This photo taken from the steps along side of the 17th Street Bridge. |
