Winter. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 03 January 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #5809, #5842-B, and #5890. All were built by EMD. #5809 is an EP-22 built in 1951 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #5824-B is an EP-20 built in 1947 and rated at 2,000 horsepower. #5890 is an EP-22 built in 1950 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. They are pulling a 19-car westbound passenger train and are about to stop at the Altoona Passenger Station; the time is 2:11 P.M.

PRR 5809, EP-22, 1966 |
| Description: |
Museum Bound. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train near Union Furnace, Pennsylvania, on 16 April 1966. Shown here is PRR engine #5809 and two other units whose numbers are not visible. #5809 is an EP-22 built by EMD in 1951 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. They are pulling an eastbound mail/express train. This photo was taken where the tracks bridge the Little Juniata River west of the stone quarry crossing, just off of State Route 453. In later years, #5809 was reconditioned in 1975 and placed in active excursion service ~ first with the Juniata Terminal, later with Mr. Bennett Levin of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |

PRR 5711, EP-22, #1 of 2, 2009 |
| Description: |
17th Street. Here is the first of two successive original photos by Olev Taremae that were taken at the old Pennsylvania Railroad engine ladder near the 17th Street Bridge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 27 June 2009. Any hints of the concentrated steam locomotive action that once occurred here are long gone. Now, diesel-electric locomotives rule the rails. Shown here (L to R) are ex-Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5711 and #5809. Both are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5711 was constructed in October of 1952, while #5809 was built in January of 1951. In this context, they're about to depart the Altoona Passenger Station for Pittsburgh after pulling a railfan excursion up the Allegheny Mountains and around the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and then back down "The Mountain" to Altoona. Photo taken from the 17th Street Bridge. |

Any hints of the concentrated steam locomotive action that once occurred here are long gone. Now, diesel-electric locomotives rule the rails. Shown here (R to L) are ex-Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5711 and #5809. Both are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5711 was constructed in October of 1952, while #5809 was built in January of 1951. In this context, they about to depart the Altoona Passenger Station for Pittsburgh after pulling a railfan excursion up the Allegheny Mountains and around the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and then back down "The Mountain" to Altoona. Visible at the far right is what was once the Pennsylvania Railroad's Master Mechanics Building; it's now the home of the Railroaders Memorial Museum. |
