| Altoona Action. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, in June of 1964. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (F to R) are PRR engine #7089 and four more "Geeps" whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EFS-17M's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7089 was constructed in November of 1956. They're braking a fully-loaded mineral train down the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve on its way to the Eastbound Receiving Yard in Altoona. Wave to the Engineman! |
