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.

Description:
E&M. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Juniata E&M Shop Yard in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 10 August 1963. Shown here is a view to the right of the trusty turntable. Visible are dozens of locomotives in various states of repair: from work almost finished to being cannibalized. Many makes and models are represented. Visible in the foreground is what is left of PRR engine #7071, an EFS-17M built by EMD in 1956 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. Directly beyond it is PRR engine #8987, a BS-12 built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in 1951 and rated at 1,200 horsepower.

There are also two pushers on the end: engines #8613 and #8606. Once upon a time, there were four sets of tracks at this point ~ as evidenced by the wide signal bridge. This is also where an eastbound freight train that had lost its brakes coming down the New Portage Branch line crashed into several waiting locomotives on Sunday, 6 November 1916.

Wye Switches. Here is the fourth of seven successive original photos that I took at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 3 July 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9541, #9686, and #7072. All were built by GM-EMD. #9541 is an EF-15 built in September of 1948 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. #9686 is an EF-15A built as an EH-15 for helper service in February of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, but later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A. #7072 is an EFS-17M built in October of 1956 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. In this context, they're pulling a 77-car mixed cargo freight train through Duncansville and up the New Portage Branch line to Gallitzin and points West. The wooden shanty ~ sporting a telephone and a coal-burning stove ~ is a left-over from the good old days when the New Portage Branch was double-tracked and switches needed to be thrown at all hours of the day or night.
