Title:
PRR 7163, EFS-17M, 1963
Description:
Wye Switches. Here is an original photo that I took at the "Wye Switches" (aka "New Portage Junction") in Duncansville, Pennsylvania in the Summer of 1963. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7163, an EFS-17M road switcher built by GM-EMD in November of 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. In this context, it's pulling a mixed-cargo freight train from the Altoona Yards to the Hollidaysburg Yards.

PRR 2536, GF-25, 1965
Description:
Brickyard. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains at the Brickyard Crossing in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 18 July 1965. On the left (L to R) are PRR engines #6306 and #6303. Both are AF-27's built by the American Locomotive Company during 1965 and rated at 2,700 horsepower each. They are returning to East Altoona after helping or pushing a train up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. On the right (L to R) are PRR engines #2534, #2247, and #7163. #2534 is a GF-25 built by GE in February of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #2247 is an EF-22 built by GM-EMD in 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #7163 is an EFS-17M built by GM-EMD in 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They are pulling a 43-car eastbound merchandise train with N-8 caboose #478032.
