| Description: |
Mann. Here is a photo that was taken at the Passenger Station in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, c. 1947. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5750 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All AP-20's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5750 was constructed in October of 1947 and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B-A set is roaring through the Station with a westbound mail and express train. Note the signal bridge and the steam locomotive at the far right. The names of the photographer and the second railfan, as well as the exact date, are not recorded. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |
