PRR 9618, AF-16, 1962         
Sweetland. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, in January of 1962. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9618 and #5753. Both were built by the American Locomotive Company. #9618 is an AF-16 built in May of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966. #5753 is an AFP-20 built in October of 1947, rated at 2,000 horsepower, and retired in September of 1962. Looks to me like both of these units have seen far better days!
