| Description: |
Derailment. Here is an original photo that I took at the site of a derailment in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 21 May 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #7057, #7197-B, #7042, and #2261. All were built by GM-EMD. #7057, #7197-B, and #7042 are EFS-17M's and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7057 was built in October of 1956, #7197-B in October of 1957, and #7042 in November of 1955. #2261 is an EF-25 built in May of 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. They've just come down the Allegheny Mountains with a 57-car TrucTrain and are passing the derailment site with caution. The cabin car is #477954. In the background (L to R) are the PRR's Test Plant Building and the 17th Street Bridge. Note the two red PRR Work Crew Trucks at the right. (#11 of 14) |
