| Road Power. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad road locomotives in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 02 September 1960. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #9796 and #9772. Both are EF-15A's built by EMD in 1951 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. The crew has coupled onto a long string of new 70-ton hopper cars and have just passed the "HOLLY" bloc telephone. This photo was taken at the Bedford Street Crossing, next to the Passenger Station. From here, this train will pass WYE Tower, climb the Allegheny Mountains using the New Portage Branch Line, and merge eventually with the mainline at Gallitzin. |
