PRR 8669, AS-18AM, #2 of 4, 1961 |
| Description: |
Everyday. Here is the second of four successive original photos that I took in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 9 August 1961. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8669 and #8672. Both are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. They're pulling a train of new hopper cars (produced by the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop) across the Jackson Street Crossing on their up the New Portage Branch line to Gallitzin and points West. Photo taken from the Fireman's window of PRR engine #9790, an EF-15A built by GM-EMD that's on static display as part of Hollidaysburg's 125th Anniversary Celebration. A portion of Broad Street is also visible at the left, along with the automobile belonging to the PRR Policeman who was guarding the one-engine-and-four-cat display train.

Anniversary. Here is an original photo that I took in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 9 August 1961. Partially visible here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9790, an EF-15A built by GM-EMD in February of 1951 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. This view reminds me of a line in a song by the Rolling Stones: "It's all over now!" |
