PRR 5898, EP-22, 1965 |
| Description: |
Excursion. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 17 October 1965. Shown here are four PRR passenger engines. The lead locomotive is #5898, an EP-22 built by EMD in 1951 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. Also visible are the first two cars of the very first "Horseshoe Curve Excursion" sponsored by the Lancaster Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society as they depart the Altoona Passenger Station on their way back to Lancaster. |

CR 6761 Waits in Anticipation of Preservation |
| Description: |
C630 no. 6761 may be whitelined, but unlike its roster mates, it's not being chopped up into razor blades. Instead, it has been acquired by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, who will restore it back to its original green and yellow livery with loco no. 5308. Note also the Tuscan Pennsy E-unit in the background. Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum. |
