| ARB. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during the Summer of 1968. Shown here (R to L) are Penn Central Railroad engine #4209 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD. #4209 is an E-7A built as Pennsylvania Railroad engine number "5849" in August of 1947, rated at 2,000 horsepower, and renumbered "4209" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. In this context, they're pulling a Westbound passenger train that will soon pull into the Altoona Passenger Station. Partially visible in the distance is the 8th Street Bridge in Juniata. |
