17th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during the Spring of 1960. Shown here are PRR engine #5867 and two other units whose numbers are not visible. All were built by EMD. #5867 is an EP-20 built in 1949 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. It is about to pull a westbound mail/express train under the 17th Street Bridge. Also visible are the Passenger Station and Train Shed in the middle distance, along with the 12th Street Car Shops on the right. |
