| Description: |
Here is a post card via Peter Outerbridge entitled "Merger Mania." Caption On Reverse: "Merger Mania. Both of these EMD E-8's ~ Pennsylvania No. 4268 and Illinois Central No. 4032 ~ looked spiffy in this 1967 shot. Alas, soon both railroads became history (well sort of). But to the E-8's, it would only mean new paint jobs." At the left is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4268, an E-8 built by GM-EMD as number "5768" in April of 1952, rated at 2,250 horsepower, and renumbered "4268" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recroded. |

Altoona Action. Here is an original 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Passenger Station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in October of 1967. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4268 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD. #4268 is an EP-22 constructed as number "5768" in April of 1952, rated at 2,250 horsepower, and renumbered "4268" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. In this context, this A-B-A set is parked near the 12th Street Footbridge. Its crew awaits the "Proceed" signal to resume pulling this passenger train to Harrisburg and points East. |
