| Yard Power. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad yard locomotive at Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 30 August 1960. Shown here is PRR engine #5557, a BS-10A switcher built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1950 and rated at 1,000 horsepower. This photo was taken near the Yard Master's Office, at the very eastern end of South Juniata Street. Note the strings of newly-reconditioned gondola and hopper cars visible on the right. The plume of smoke in the distance originated at the PRR's Reclamation Plant in Frankstown. |
