PRR 2240, EF-22, 1965 |
| Description: |
8th Street. Here is an original telephoto view that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 19 September 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2240, #2275, #2268, and #2528. #2240 is an EF-22 built by GM-EMD in May of 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #2275 and #2268 are EF-25's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,500 horsepower each; #2275 was built in June of 1964 and #2268 was built in May of 1964. #2528 is a GF-25 built by General Electric in October of 1962 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. In this context, they're pulling a 70-car eastbound TrucTrain past the PRR's Juniata Erecting & Machine Shop (not visible on the right). This is a through train that will not stop in Altoona to change crews ~ unusual then, the norm now. |

In this context, they're pulling a 70-car eastbound TrucTrain, and are about to pass ROSE Tower and the 8th Street Bridge in Juniata. This is a through train that will not stop in Altoona to change crews ~ unusual then, the norm now. |
