PRR 5765, EP-22, 1963 |
| Description: |
PGH-ALT-63. Here is an original photo that I took after riding in a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train from Pittsburgh to Altoona on 8 September 1963. Shown here is PRR engine #5765, an EP-22 built by GM-EMD in March of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. It's the lead unit of my train; the second unit is engine #5760. We've just arrived in Altoona ~ where the engine and train crews are changing, existing passengers are detraining, and new passengers are boarding. Visible in the background are the rooftops of two of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shop buildings. |
