Prominent here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8596 and #8597. Both are AS-16M road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company in December of 1955 and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. Partially visible in the background is Juniata's 17th Street Bridge; just beyond it at the right is the East Altoona Roundhouse.
