| NRHS. Here is an original 35mm color slide by William D. Volkmer that was taken in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 8 April 1962. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5899 and #5810. Both are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5899 was constructed in March of 1951, while #5810 was built in January of the same year. They are pulling a "Railfan Special to the Horseshoe Curve," sponsored by the Philadelphia Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. In this context, the "Special" is stopped while the railfans take guided tours of the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop in Hollidaysburg. |
