| Derailment. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 21 May 1965. Shown here is PRR engine #8663, an AS-18AM built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. It is coupled to the "western" work train and steam-powered crane that are rerailing the derailed cars and locomotives of the eastbound freight train on the next track over. Photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge. (#2 of 14) |
