PRR 9691, EH-15, 1950 |
| Description: |
AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 21 August 1950. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9691 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9691 is an EH-15 constructed in April of 1949, later rebuilt as an EF-15A, and retired in February of 1967 after just 18 years of revenue service. This A-B-A trio is rounding the Curve on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to East Altoona where it'll await yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." ("PrrFan18n") |

Derailment. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 21 May 1965. Shown here on the right (L to R) are PRR engines #9691 and #7206. Both were built by GM-EMD. #9691 is an EF-15A constructed as an EH-15 in April of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in February of 1967. #7206 is an EFS-17M built in 1957 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They have just come down the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve with a 60-car mixed-cargo freight train and are passing the derailment site with caution. The caboose is #477382. Visible in the center is PRR steam-powered crane #490965. Visible on the left is one of the two derailed locomotives, PRR engine #8890 ~ an AS-10 built by the American Locomotive Company in 1950 and rated at 1,000 horsepower. Visible in the distance (L to R) are the PRR Test Plant Building and the 17th Street Bridge. (#6 of 14) |
