| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1949. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9518 and two more "EH" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9518 was built as an EH-15 January of 1948, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15, and retired in December of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. Looks to me like they're running light up "The Mountain" on Track 1. |
