| Description: |
17th Street. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 25 April 1964. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9847, #7195-B, #9675, and #9855. All were built by GM-EMD. #9847 and #9855 are EFP-15's and rated at 1,500 horsepower: #9847 was built in May of 1952 while #9855 was built in June of 1955. #7195-B is an EFS-17M built in December of 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. #9675 is an EF-15A built in June of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966. They're just passed under the 17th Street Bridge with 25 gondolas loaded with pipes destined for the Alaska Pipeline. |

PRR 9855, EFP-15, c. 1966 |
| Description: |
Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken near Cove, Pennsylvania, c. 1966. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9855 and an unidentified FF-16 built by Fairbanks-Morse. #9855 is an EFP-15 constructed by GM-EMD in June of 1952 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. In this context, they're pulling a rather short mixed-cargo freight train out of Enola to Altoona and points West. Note the "focal orange" cabin car. |
