Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) 5856 - EMD E7A

Birmingham. Here is an original photo that I took in Birmingham, Pennsylvania, on 10 July 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5765, #5714, #5889, #5856, and #5867. All were built by GM-EMD. Engines #5765, #5714, and #5889 are EP-22's rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5765 was built in March of 1952, #5714 in November of 1952, and #5889 in April of 1950. Engines #5856 and #5867 are EP-20's rated at 2,000 horsepower each; #5856 was built in February of 1948, but #5867 was built in March of 1949. They're pulling a 48-car westbound mail & express train. Photo taken at the stone quarry crossing, just off of State Route 453.
