| NST. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken from the 24th Street Bridge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in June of 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9643 and two more "EF" Class units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9643 is an EF-15A built in March of 1950. They've just passed the Brick Plant with a mixed-cargo freight train, and are about to pass SLOPE Tower on their way to the Eastbound Receiving Yards in Altoona. ("PrrFan18n") |
