PRR 9473, FP-20A, c. 1962 |
| Description: |
AHC. Here is a photo that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9473 and another unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #9473 is an FP-20A built in June of 1948 and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a fully-loaded mineral train down the Allegheny Mountains and around the Curve on its way to the Eastbound Receiving Yards in Altoona. The photographer's name and the date are not recorded. |
