PRR 2428, AF-25, 1965 |
| Description: |
Huntingdon. Here is an original photo that I took just East of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, in October of 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2428, #2530, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #2428 is an AF-25 built by the American Locomotive Company in February of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower, while #2530 is a GF-25 built by General Electric in September of 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train down the Juniata River Valley to Enola. A small portion of US Route 22 ~ the "William Penn Highway" ~ is visible at the right. |

PRR 2356, EF-25, 1966 |
| Description: |
7th Street. Here is an original telephoto view that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in March of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2356, #2530, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #2356 is an EF-25 built by GM-EMD in March of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower, while #2530 is a GF-25 built by General Electric in September of 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. In this context, they're passing under the 7th Street Bridge with a merchandise freight train on its way to Enola and points East. Visible in the center distance, beyond the Bridge, are some of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shop buildings. Photo taken from the 4th Street Footbridge. |
