| Altoona Action. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, during April of 1960. Shown here is PRR engine #9455 and another unit whose number is not visible. #9455 is an FF-16 built by Fairbanks-Morse in 1950 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. It is pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight train up the Allegheny Mountains, just above the Horseshoe Curve. |
