Alan Page	General	The U25C and SD40 look like they're hardly working, but the sound must have been fantastic!	7/9/2016 5:21:56 PM

Olaf Junges	General	Fantastic photo!	7/10/2016 4:00:11 AM

Mike Maskel	General	NICE SHOT	7/10/2016 10:44:37 AM

Tom Beckett	General	Congrats on the editors pick, as well as the several others today. If ever there was a shot that screamed "Pennsy" in the diesel era, this is it. The only way to top this would be the same scene with one of those massive M-1's.	7/11/2016 2:28:23 AM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Great red ribbon shot, congrats sir.	10/2/2016 11:06:13 PM

PRR 6513, GF-25A, 1966
Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, during mid-May of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #6513 and #6083. #6513 is a GF-25A built by General Electric in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #6083 is an EF-30A built by EMD in 1966 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. They are pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight around the Horseshoe Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West.
