NST. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred Kern that was taken just West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 2 July 1955. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5870 and an E-7 Class "B" unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5870 was built in April of 1949. They've just passed the Brick Plant, and are about to pass under the 24th Street Bridge on their way to Altoona and points East. ("PrrFan18n") |
