Title:  PRR 2026, BF-16, 1961
Description:  4th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1961. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2026 and #9594. Both are BF-16's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and rated at 1,600 horsepower each; #2026 was built in 1952, but #9594 was built in 1951. Visible on the far left are some of the PRR's Passenger Car Shops. Photo taken from the 4th Street Bridge. ("Red Shift" slide converted to Black & White.)

PRR 2361, EF-25, 1967
Title:  PRR 2361, EF-25, 1967
Description:  Boulton. Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in August of 1967. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2361, #2606, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. #2361 is an EF-25 built by GM-EMD inMarch of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #2606 is a GF-25 built by General Electric as number "2506" in August of 1962, rated at 2,500 horsepower, and renumbered "2606" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. In this context, they're just entering the Curve with a "high-&-wide load" train that's on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. Visible at the far right is a portion of four-track Signal Bridge #2416.
