PRR 5700, EP-22, 1965 |
| Description: |
Oil Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Tom Smart that was taken in Louisville, Kentucky, on 1 May 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5700 and #5878. Both were built by GM-EMD. #5700 is an EP-22 built in September of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower, while #5878 is an EP-20 built in April of 1949 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. Looks to me like #5700 has had a close encounter of the third kind! |

PRR 6305, AF-27, 1965 |
| Description: |
17th Street. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in August of 1965. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6305, an unidentified ALCo diesel, two GM-EMD units, and engine #5878. #6305 is an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower. The two ALCo diesels are serving as front end helpers for this passenger train on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they'll be uncoupled and returned to Altoona for further assignment. #5878 is an EP-20 built by GM-EMD in April of 1949 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. Visible in the smoky distance are some of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shop buildings. Photo taken from the pedestrian stairway connecting 10th Avenue with the 17th Street Bridge. |
