| 17th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 04 July 1965. Shown here is PRR engine #6307, an AF-27 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower. In this context, it is a "pusher" on a westbound mixed-cargo freight train. The fireman is picking-up train orders from the railroader at ALTO Tower, just like the conducter in the N-8 caboose ahead of him. |
