| Description: |
24th Street. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 11 October 1963. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2413 and #7255. #2413 is an AF-24 built by the American Locomotive Company in October of 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. #7255 is an EFS-17M built by GM-EMD in November of 1959 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They've just come down the eastern slope of the Allegheny Mountains with a 108-car mixed-cargo freight train, and are about to pass under 24th Street Bridge on their way through Altoona non-stop to Enola. The cabin car is #477777. |

| Description: |
Kreamer. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by R. von dem Hagen that was taken from the 24th Street Bridge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1964. Prominent at the left are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #7175, #2413, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #7175 is an EFS-17M built by GM-EMD in October of 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. #2413 is an AF-24 built by the American Locomotive Company in October of 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. In this context, they're passing the now-shuttered SLOPE Tower with a mixed-cargo freight train on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. Two tracks over, a TrucTrain just down "The Mountain" winds its way through the interlocking into Altoona and points East. The smokestack at the right marks the location of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shops. Brush Mountain dominates the distance. (#5 of 9) |
