Description:
Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by John Dziobko, Jr., that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 25 July 1952 ~ 68 years ago today! Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9493, an FF-16 built by Fairbanks-Morse in October of 1950, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in April of 1965 after just 15 years of revenue service. Along with several other diesel-electric units (not pictured), it's waiting for its next helper/pusher run up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin where they'll uncouple and return to the 7th Street Bridge area in Altoona and prepare for yet another run up "The Mountain."

Title:
Face off of Pennsy Power
Description:
An incoming Fairbanks Morse CFA16-4 #9493 faces a Baldwin RF-16 unit (center) and an EMD F7A unit (left). What an unusual moment for the three diesel suppliers to face off like this. And to think, there was no GE product around! No locaiton, date or photographer was listed for this unique photo but i would surmise it's somewhere around Altoona, PA.

Title:
PRR CFA16-4 #9496 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
Fairly nice photo of the 1956 Fairbanks-Morse CFA16-4 built in 1950 for the PRR. The unit has the PRR characteristic double Trainfone antenna along the top. The antenna had several nicknames like "razorback" hog, "handrail to nowhere" and others. According to Wikipedia "The biggest problem with the trainphone system was that it could not work in electrified zones, because of interference from the electric supply and electrical equipment on the locomotive. Since the electrified zones were among the PRR's busiest, this was a serious disadvantage." No photographer or exact day in 1961 was listed.
