PRR 2242, EF-22, 1963 |
| Description: |
Altoona. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken from the 7th Street Bridge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1963. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2242, #2239, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. All are EF-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #2242 and #2239 were built in May of 1963. In this context, they're pulling a mixed-cargo freight train out of the Forwarding Yard and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. In the background is the wrought-iron 4th Street Footbridge. Next over, the steam-era water tower awaits demolition. At the far left are some of the PRR's soon-to-be-abandoned Passenger Car Shops.
