| Description: |
12th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during March of 1966. Shown here is PRR engine #6311, an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower. It is pulling a special cargo freight train past the Altoona Station on its way up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. Visible in the background are three of the original PRR 12th Street Car Shop buildings. |

| Description: |
Mid-Mountain. Here is an original photo that I took just West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, in mid-June of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6311, #6056, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #6311 is an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in November of 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower, while #6056 is an EF-30A built by GM-EMD in February of 1966 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. They're serving as tail end pushers on a mixed-cargo freight train heading up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they'll be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for further assignment. |
