Rainy. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #6500 and #6306. #6500 is a GF-25A built by General Electric in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #6306 is an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower. They are pushing a 99-car westbound mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and return to East Altoona for another run up the Mountains. The caboose is N-8 #478151.

AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, perhaps during 1967. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6000, #6007, and #6509. All were built during 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #6000 and #6007 are EF-25A's built by GM-EMD, whereas #6509 is a GF-25A built by General Electric. In this context, they're rounding the Curve on their way back down to East Altoona for yet another helper or pusher run up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and back.

PRR 6513, GF-25A, 1966
Description:
12th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #6513 and #5842. #6513 is a GF-25A built by General Electric in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #5842 is an EP-20 built in 1947 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. In this photo, #6513 is in the process of coupling with #5842 to help pull the passenger train up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin ~ whereupon #6513 will uncouple and return to Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up the Mountains. Note the railroader on the other side of the tracks, who will couple all of the necessary hoses.
