| Kern. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken near Mount Union, Pennsylvania, on 30 August 1953. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5788 and another E-8A unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5788 was built in May of 1952. In this context, this A-A set is pulling a 12-car passenger train on its way down the Juniata River Valley from Altoona to Harrisburg. |
