PGH-ALT-63. Here is an original photo that I took while riding in a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train from Pittsburgh to Altoona on 8 September 1963. Shown here is PRR engine #7234, an EFS-17M road switcher built by GM-EMD in October of 1959 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. It's the lead unit in an on-coming/westbound mixed-cargo freight train near Latrobe, Pennsylvania. (My train is moving from left to right.) |
