Title:
PRR 9537, EF-15, 1965
Description:
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 6 June 1965. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9537 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9537 is an EF-15 constructed in September of 1948 and retired in May of 1966 after just 18 years of revenue service. They're pulling a westbound train consisting of empty hopper cars past WORKS Tower, under the new version of the 4th Street Footbridge, and up the Allegheny Mountains to the coal mines of Western Pennsylvania. Looks like front-end air conditioning! (#33 of 44)

PRR, ELDO Action, #3 of 8, 1966
Description:
ELDO Action. Here is the third of eight original photos that I took in the Eldorado section of Altoona, Pennsylvania, in January of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9819 and #9537. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9819 is an EF-15A built in May of 1951 and retired in November of 1966, while #9537 is an EF-15 built in September of 1948 and retired in May of 1966. Their crew is waiting for orders to move their mixed-cargo freight train from Altoona through Eldorado to the Wye Switches in Duncansville, and thence up the New Portage Branch line to Gallitzin and points West.
