Title:
PRR 2274, EF-25, 1966
Description:
Horseshoe Curve-1966. Here is an original photo that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in May of 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2274 and #7228. Both were built by GM-EMD. #2274 is an EF-25 built in May of 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #7228 is an EFS-17M built in December of 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. In this context, they're rounding the Curve with a fully-loaded mineral train on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to the Eastbound Receiving Yard in Altoona. Note that the train's N-5 cabin car is visible in the apex of the Curve. (#10 of 39)
