WIL-ALT-65. Here is an original photo that I took during a trip on Pennsylvania Railroad passenger trains from Wilmington to Altoona on 28 March 1965. Shown here (R to L) are partial views of PRR engine #4860 and PRR MoW tender #999400. #4860 is a GG-1 built in Juniata during December of 1937. #999400 is a former steam locomotive tender that has been relegated to Maintenance-of-Way service. Instead of supplying a steam locomotive with water, it's now filled with fuel oil to replenish the steam-heat boilers in GG-1 electrics ~ like #4860. They are situated on the Locomotive Ready Tracks across from HARRIS Tower, just West of the Harrisburg Passenger Station. Partially visible in the background is the Market Street Bridge. |
