PRR 6001, EF-25A, 1965 |
| Description: |
Rainy. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #6038 and #6001. Both are EF-25A's built by EMD in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. They are pushing a 95-car iron-ore train on the Hollidaysburg Branch Line to the Wye Switches and up the New Portage/Muleshoe Curve route to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and head back to East Altoona for another run up the Allegheny Mountains. The caboose is N-5C #477898. Also visible is the interlocking directly in front of ALTO Tower (not shown) and the headlight beam for an on-coming coal train pulled by engine #8570. This photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge. |

PRR 6001, EF-25A, 1966 |
| Description: |
7th Street. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #6001, #6304, and another unit whose number is not recorded. #6001 is an EF-25A built by EMD in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #6304 is an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower. They are pushing a mixed-cargo freight train under the 7th Street Bridge on their way up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and return to East Altoona to make another run up the Mountains. This photo taken from the 4th Street Bridge's employee stairway to WORKS Tower. |
