PRR 7124, EFS-17M, 1963
Title:  PRR 7124, EFS-17M, 1963
Description:  Mann. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1963. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7124 and three more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EFS-17M's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7124 was built in June of 1957. In this context, they're rounding the Curve with a manifest freight train on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and points West. Wave to the Fireman! (Gift from Brad Mann.)
