| Frankstown. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken in Frankstown, Pennsylvania, on 17 October 1965. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5898 and three more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5898 was constructed in March of 1951. In this context, they're pulling the very first "Horseshoe Curve Excursion" ~ sponsored by the Lancaster Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society ~ through the PRR's Reclamation Plant. Partially visible in the distance is Locke Mountain. ("PrrFan18n") |
