PGH-ALT-63. Here is an original photo that I took after riding in a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train from Pittsburgh to Altoona on 08 September 1963. Shown here is PRR engine #5765, an EP-22 built by EMD in 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. It is the lead unit of my train; the second unit was engine #5760. We've just arrived in Altoona, and the engine and train crews are in the process of changing. Visible in the background are the rooftops of two of the PRR's 12th Street Car Shop buildings. |
