PRR 9819, EF-15A, 1966 |
| Description: |
ELDO Action. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trackage in the Eldorado section hf Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1966. Shown here is the railroad crossing at 58th Street in Eldorado. Visible in the distance are a switch, a shanty, another position-light signal, as well as a PRR train waiting for permission to proceed. These are the tracks connecting Altoona (to the front) and Hollidaysburg (to the rear). From 1850 to 1854, while the Horseshoe Curve was under construction, this was actually part of the PRR's main line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. |

ELDO Action. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in the Eldorado section of Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #9819 and #9537. Both locomotives were built by EMD and are rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9819 is an EF-15A built in 1951, while #9537 is an EF-15 built in 1948. Their crew is waiting for permission to move their mixed-cargo freight train from Altoona through Eldorado to the Wye Switches and points West. |
