PRR 2245, EF-22, 1965
Title:  PRR 2245, EF-22, 1965
Description:  Pinecroft. Here is an original photo that I took near Pinecroft, Pennsylvania, on 26 June 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2245, #2350, and #2282. All were built by GM-EMD. #2245 is an EF-22 built in May of 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #2350 and #2282 are EF-25's rated at 2,500 horsepower each; #2350 was built in February of 1965, but #2282 was built in June of 1964. They're pulling a 95-car ore train (with N-8 cabin car #478170) to Altoona and points West. The roadway paralleling the tracks was once the right-of-way for the Altoona & Logan Valley Electric Railway's double-tracked line linking Tyrone and Altoona. The line was partially washed-out in the great St. Patrick's Day Floods of 1936 and never rebuilt. Photo taken from the Riggle's Gap Bridge.

PRR 2282, EF-25, 1966
Title:  PRR 2282, EF-25, 1966
Description:  Mid-Mountain. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, during mid-June of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2282, #2260, and another unit whose number is not legible. #2282 and #2260 are EF-25's built by EMD in 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. They are pulling an eastbound merchandise freight train down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. The slope of the Horseshoe Curve's upper end is also visible in the distance.
