PRR 9826, EF-15A, 1965 |
Description: |
Rainy. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #9826, #9788, #7122, and #7143. All were built by EMD. #9826 and #9788 are EF-15A's built in 1951 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #7122 and #7143 are EFS-17M's built in 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. They are pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight train under the 24th Street Bridge, and are about to surmount the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve. Bringing-up the rear are "helpers" #6307 and #6501. |
