PRR 9685, EH-15, 1949
Description:
Altoona Action. Here is a photo by Thomas Lynam that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during February of 1949. It was published originally in Robert L. Emerson's 1984 book entitled "Allegheny Passage: An Illustrated History Of Blair County," page 75. Photo Caption: "The sight of clouds billowing out of a passing steam engine vanished shortly after these two photos were made, as the newer diesel engine edged its older sister out of commission. Both the J-1a steam engine (not shown) and the EMD diesels (bottom) ~ nicknamed 'covered wagons' ~ were photographed in Altoona's Pennsy yard in 1949." Shown here (L to R) are the 7th Street Bridge, a sanding tower, a vest-pocket coaling tipple, and a watering point ~ the latter two now obsolete with the passing of the "Age of Steam." Also visible on the right is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9685, an EH-15 built by EMD in February of 1949 and rated at 1,500 horsepower.

PRR 9686, EH-15, #1 of 2, 1949
Description:
AHC. Here is the first of two successive duplicate 35mm color slides via Al Chione that were taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1949. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9686, an unidentified "B" unit, and #9687. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9686 and #9687 were constructed as EH-15's in February of 1949, but later regeared and reclassified as EF-15A's. In this context, this A-B-A trio is rounding the Curve on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to East Altoona to await yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain."

PRR 2511, GF-25, 1964
Description:
Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Wye Switches in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 5 October 1964. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #2511, #9546-B, and #9686. #2511 is a GF-25 built by GE in 1962 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #9546-B and #9686 are EH-15's built by EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each; the B-unit was built in 1948, but the A-unit was built in 1949. These three Diesels, two freight cars, PRR caboose #477781, and three ALCO helper engines have just arrived from Altoona and have stopped in the middle of US Route 22 so that the fireman can call-in to request clearance to proceed up the New Portage Branch for a short distance and then stop. After that, they will back into the Hollidaysburg Yards, pick-up a freight train, and then pull it up the New Portage Branch to Gallitzin and points West.

Description:
FM. Here is a duplicate 35mm B&W slide of a photo by Fred McLeod that was taken near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. Photo Caption: "3-unit Electro-Motive pusher on upgrade as viewed two miles aboue the Horseshoe. Fall, 1950." Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9688 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EH-15's built/by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9688 was constructed as an EH-15 in February of 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in Novem`er of 1964 after just 15 years of service. In this context, they're serving as tail-end pushers on a westbound freight train ~ but once through one of the Gallitzin tuonels, they'll be uncoupled and returned to Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." This photo comes from a slide set entitled "Horseshoe Curve, Pennsylvania#Railroad" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (22-34). (Photo taken 21 October 1950)
