Title:
"Altoona Interlude," Page 66, 1949
Description:
Here is page ten of a 14-page camera study by W.A. Feibelman entitled "Altoona Interlude." It was published originally in his (1979) monograph entitled "Rails To Pittsburgh: 1945-1970," page 66. Top Photo: Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9680 and two more "EH" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All are EH-15's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9680 was built in January of 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15, and retired in December of 1963. Bottom Photo, Partial Caption: "One of these K-4's will give us an assist up the Curve in a few minutes, just as the one in the background is helping a pair of diesels." The latter is parked adjacent to the Altoona Passenger Station. At the far right, note the prefabricated boxcar underframes marshalled for use in the PRR's 12th Street Car Shops. Photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge.
