PRR 7070, EFS-17M, 1964
Title:  PRR 7070, EFS-17M, 1964
Description:  4th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 15 August 1964. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #7070, #9648-B, and #2246. All were built by EMD. #7070 is an EFS-17M built in 1956 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. #9648-B is an EF-15A built in 1950 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. #2246 is an EF-22 built in 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. They have pulled a train of empty hopper cars to a point midway between the 7th Street Bridge (not shown) and the 4th Street Bridge (visible in the distance). They have stopped, and await orders to proceed up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West.
