PRR 6022, EF-25A, 1966 |
| Description: |
Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in May of 1966. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6022 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. #6022 is an EF-25A built by GM-EMD in April of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. At Signal Bridge 2417/6, they're serving as tail-end helpers on a mixed-cargo freight train heading up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they'll be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for further assignment. The valley between these two hills marks the route of the ancient Kittanning Indian Trail. (#13 of 39) |
