PRR 9565, EF-15, #1 of 3, 1959 |
| Description: |
Sweetland. Here is the first of three successive 35mm color slides of photos by David R. Sweetland that were taken in Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, in July of 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9565 and another "EF" Class unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9565 is an EF-15 constructed in September of 1948 and retired in September of 1965 after just 17 years of revenue service. They are about to enter the New Portage Tunnel with a mixed-cargo freight train on its way down the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Altoona and points East. ("PrrFan18n") |

PRR 9565, EF-15, 1960 |
| Description: |
4th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during November of 1960. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #9539 and #9565. Both are EF-15's built by EMD in 1948 and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. They have just passed under the 4th Street Bridge and are pulling a coal train into the Eastbound Receiving Yard. Visible on the right are the largely-unused livestock pens, right next to SOUTH Tower (not shown). ("Red Shift" slide converted to Black & White.) |
