| Mid-Mountain. Here is an original telephoto view that I took just West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, in mid-June of 1966. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7140 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD. #7140 is an EFS-17M built in June of 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They're pulling a train of empty hopper cars up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. |
