Title:
PRR 8656, AS-18AM, 1965
Description:
Rainy. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 12 October 1965. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #8656, #8655, #5896, and #5716. #8656 and 8655 are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1957 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each; they are serving as "helpers" in this context. #5896 and #5716 are EP-22's built by EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each; #5896 was built in 1951, but #5716 was build in 1952. They are pulling a 17-car westbound passenger train up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Pittsburgh and points West. Also visible are numerous "Ore Jennies" in a westbound iron-ore train and several buildings of the PRR's 12th Street Shops. This photo taken from the steps along side of the 17th Street Bridge.

Title:
PRR 5716, EP-22, 1966
Description:
Volkmer. Here is an image of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in April of 1966. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5716, an EP-22 built by GM-EMD in October of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. In this context, it's powering a passenger train around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. On display at the left is PRR engine #1361, a K-4S (4-6-2) "Pacific" built in Juniata during May of 1918, retired in September of 1956, enshrined at the Horseshoe Curve on 08 June 1957, restored for excursion service during 1987-1988, then withdrawn from service and disassembled due to safety concerns, and still not reassembled to wholeness. William E. Burket Collection.
