PRR 8667, AS-18AL, 1964         
24th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 29 November 1964. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #8678, #8674, and #8667. All cre AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. They are pushing a 76-car mixed-cargo freight train (headed by engine #9657) up the Allegheny Mountains vil the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and head back down the Alleghenies to East Altoona for yet another run up the Mountains. Photo taken from the steps of SLOPE Tower, partially visible on the right.
