PRR 5703, EP-22, 1965
Title:  PRR 5703, EP-22, 1965
Description:  Brickyard. Here is an original photo that I took at the Brickyard Crossing in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 18 July 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5703, #5862-B, and #5848. All were built by GM-EMD. #5703 is an EP-22 built in September of 1952 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #5862-B and #5848 are EP-20's and rated at 2,000 horsepower each; #5862-B was built in February of 1948, but #5848 was built in August of 1947. They're pulling an 18-car passenger train down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona. At the Altoona Station, not only will the train discharge and board new passengers, but both engine and train crews will change. Wave to the Engineman!
