| Mann. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide that was taken at BANKS Tower near Perdix, Pennsylvania, c. 1965. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9871 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9871 is an EFP-15 constructed in August 1952; looks to me like it's seen better days. In this context, this A-B-A set is pulling a mixed-cargo freight train on its way to Altoona and points West. The photographer's name and the exact date are not recorded. Blue Mountain dominates the distance. ("PrrFan18n") |
