| Everyday. Here is an original photo that I took in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 2 August 1960. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9394 and #9172. Both were built by GM-EMD. #9394 is an ES-12 built in May of 1950 and rated at 1,200 horsepower, while #9172 is an ES-10 built in October of 1948 and rated at 1,000 horsepower. Both locomotives are idling-away at the end of a busy Tuesday, awaiting the call to duty the next morning. Visible in the background are the old wooden Water Tower (the last vestige of the Steam Age in Hollidaysburg) and the western end of the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop. Queen Anne's lace rules the foreground! Photo taken near the Yard Master's Office, at the very eastern end of South Juniata Street. |
