PRR 8659, AS-18AM, 1965         
24th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsyovania, on 10 January 1965. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #8659 and #8666. Both are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. They are pulling an 82-car merchandise freight train down!the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. The caboose is N-8 #478217. This photo taken just West of the 24th Street Bridge.
