Title:
"Largest Railroad Shops," Page 14, 1978
Description:
Here is page three of a four-page article entitled "The World's Largest Railroad Shops." It was published originally in the April 1978 issue of "Rails Northeast" magazine, page 14. Partial Caption: "This is Pennsy's very first set of EMD F-3's (9500-A, 9500-B, 9501-B, 9501-A) backing to its train where it will begin its trip west." Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9501, #9501-B, #9500-B, and #9500. All are EF-15's built by GM-EMD in July of 1947 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. Photo by F.S. Gamber; taken from the 4th Street Footbridge. Notable here is a list of "the four separate and distinct units and sub-units" of the PRR's Altoona Works.

PRR 2511, GF-25, 1964
Description:
Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 5 October 1964. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #2511, #9546-B, and #9686. #2511 is a GF-25 built by GE in 1962 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #9546-B and #9686 are EH-15's built by EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each; the B-unit was built in 1948, but the A-unit was built in 1949. These three Diesels, two freight cars, PRR caboose #477781, and three ALCO helper engines have just arrived from Altoona and have stopped in the middle of US Route 22 so that the fireman can call-in to request clearance to proceed up the New Portage Branch for a short distance and then stop. After that, they will back into the Hollidaysburg Yards, pick-up a freight train, and then pull it up the New Portage Branch to Gallitzin and points West.
