| ELDO Action. Here is a telephoto view that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train south of Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #9819 and #9537. Both locomotives were built by EMD and are rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9819 is an EF-15A built in 1951, while #9537 is an EF-15 built in 1948. The train is passing over the two-lane Sixth Avenue Extension near Canaan Station on its way to the Wye Switches, the New Portage Branch Line, the Gallitzin Tunnels, and points West. The Diesels, the truck, and the car were all built by GMC! |
