Holly. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at HOLLY Block in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 07 April 1965. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #9777, #9774-B, #9840-B, and #9788. All were built by GM-EMD and are rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9777, #9774-B, and #9788 are EF-15A's and were built in 1951, but #9840-B is an EFP-15 and was built in 1952. They are pulling a 38-car westbound freight train out of the Hollidaysburg Yards. The train will pass WYE Tower, climb the Allegheny Mountains by way of the New Portage Branch and the Muleshoe Curve, and then merge with the mainline at Gallitzin. Most of the cars in this train are new 70-ton hopper cars, just produced at the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop. The cabin car is #477806. In years past, two-story HOLLY Tower was located in the grassy area between the sidewalk and the bridge over the Juniata River. Also located here was an elevated tower to operate the Bedford Street Crossing gates. |

Former PC Prime Mover Car #73600 |
| Description: |
Unusual car built from an old F7B unit whose purpose was to carry prime movers during rebuilds in the Penn Central era. Technically, this is now a Conrail item since the date is April, 1980. I cannot find it listed on a Conrail roster however. This is not to be confused with Conrail's Q1 prime mover test car, formerly CR 6097, nee-EL 3632, which wore the EL's bicentennial paint. |
