7th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 08 March 1964. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #7132, #9802-B, and #7004. All were built by EMD. #7132 and #7004 are EFS-17M's rated at 1,750 horsepower each; #7132 was built in 1957, but #7004 was built in 1955. #9802-B is an EF-15A built in 1951 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. They are pulling a mixed-cargo freight train under the 7th Bridge on their way up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. Also visible (L to R) are some of the PRR's Passenger Car Shops, the old steel water tower, the 4th Street Bridge, and several other westound freight trains awaiting crews and orders to proceed. |
