PRR 7220, EFS-17M, 1964
Title:  PRR 7220, EFS-17M, 1964
Description:  8th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 January 1964. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #7220, #9646, #9770-B, and #9492. #7220 is an EFS-17M built by EMD in 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. #9646 and #9770-B are EF-15A's built by EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each; #9646 was built in 1950, but #9770-B was built in 1951. #9492 is an FF-16 built by Fairbanks-Morse in 1950 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. They are about to pass under the 8th Street Bridge in Juniata with a 100-car mixed-cargo freight train destined for Enola and points East.
