| Here is page 13 of a 15-page article by Bert Pennypacker entitled "Soliloquy Of Altoona." It was published originally in the April 1978 issue of "Rails Northeast" magazine, page 28. Partial Caption: "A three-unit Shark idles at the ready track." Shown here (F to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2011 and two more "BF" Class units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #2011 is a BF-16 built in February of 1952 and retired in January of 1967 after just 15 years of revenue service.
