Volkmer. Here is an image of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken at MG Tower near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 25 October 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8665, #8662, and #8655. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8665 was constructed in February of 1958, #8662 in January of 1958, and #8655 in December of 1957. In this context, they're serving as tail-end pushers on a mixed-cargo freight train on its way up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where the pushers will be uncoupled and returned to East Altoona for further assignment. Also visible is PRR N-5 cabin car #477419. William E. Burket Collection. |
