PRR 9555, EH-15, c. 1950
Title:  PRR 9555, EH-15, c. 1950
Description:  Blackhawk. Here is a duplicate 35mm B&W slide that was taken at Bennington Curve near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. Photo Caption: "Three-unit Electro-Motive diesel brings up the rear end of freight, two miles above Horseshoe Curve." Prominent here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9555 and two more units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9555 is an EH-15 built in January of 1949, regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in May of 1965 after just 16 years of revenue service. The photographer's name, the number of the N-5C cabin car, and the exact date are not recorded. This photo comes from a B&W slide set entitled "The Pennsy In Pennsylvania" that's produced by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (11-15).
