| Volkmer. Here is an image of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken at the Passenger Station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 23 June 1958. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8672 and #8671. Both are AS-18M's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. In this context, they're serving as mid-train helpers in a train consisting of decommissioned steam locomotives on their way to be recycled. The timber pictured at the lower right is one of the supports for the original wrought-iron 12th Street Footbridge. William E. Burket Collection. |
