Title:
PRR 8671, AS-18AM, 1959
Description:
Muleshoe. Here is a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken at the Muleshoe Curve on the New Portage Branch Line west of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 29 October 1959. It was published originally in his 2019 book entitled "Pennsylvania Railroad-Best Of Bill Volkmer: Volume 3-Altoona," page 81. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #8671, #8674, and #8677. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. They are pushing an iron-ore train up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and return to East Altoona for yet another run up "The Mountain."

PRR 8671, AS-18AM, 1960
Description:
Sweetland. Here is duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, in October of 1960. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8671, #8674, and #8663. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company during 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. In this context, they're serving as tail end pushers for a westbound mixed-cargo freight train that is already passing through the Allegheny Tunnel. In a matter of minutes, though, they'll be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for further assignment. In the left foreground is the link to the westbound New Portage Secondary Track.
