PRR 5789, EP-22, 1965
Title:  PRR 5789, EP-22, 1965
Description:  Pinecroft. Here is an original photo that I took near Pinecroft on 26 June 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5789, #5801, #5844-B, and #5889. All were built by GM-EMD. #5789, #5801, and #5889 are EP-22's rated at 2,250 horsepower each; #5789 was built in May of 1952, #5801 in June of 1952, and #5889 in April of 1950. #5844-B is an EP-20 built in August of 1947 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. They're pulling a 38-car mail & express train (with "Railway Express" N-5 cabin car #5031) to Altoona and points West. Photo taken from the Riggle's Gap Bridge.
