| Mann. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken near Perdix, Pennsylvania, c. 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9596 and two "BF" Class units whose road numbers are not recorded. #9596 is a BF-16 built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in April of 1951 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. In this context, this A-B-A set is pulling a mixed-cargo freight train out of Enola that's heading to Altoona and points West. Partially visible in the center is BANKS Tower. Blue Mountain dominates the distance. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |
