| 17th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 14 February 1965. Shown here are the Locomotive Ready Tracks below the 17th Street Bridge; several makes and models are represented. Of the six locomotives visible, the following are identifiable by number. Starting from the bottom are PRR engines #8958, #8966, #8669, and #8672. #8958 is a BS-24M built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in 1951 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. #8966 is a BS-16M built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1951 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. #8669 and #8672 are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. |
