PRR 7262, EFS-17M, 1966
Title:  PRR 7262, EFS-17M, 1966
Description:  Winter Day. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during February of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #7262 and three other units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by EMD. #7262 is an EFS-17M built in 1959 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They are about to pass under the 4th Street Bridge and into the Eastbound Receiving Yard with a fully-loaded coal train. The westbound train of empty hopper cars pulled by engine #6046 is on the next track over. Visible in the distance is the 7th Street Bridge; beyond the Bridge are some of the PRR 12th Street Car Shop buildings. The venerable black water tower ~ last vestige of the Age of Steam in this part of town ~ stands guard on the right. Photo taken from the 4th Street Bridge.

Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2295, #2212, and #7263. All three were built by EMD. #2295 is an EF-25 built in 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #2212 is an EF-22 built in 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #7263 is an EFS-17M built in 1959 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They are pulling an eastbound coal train around the Horseshoe Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East.

Off to Valpo
Title:  Off to Valpo
Description:  The late 70s found a wide variety of commuter services in the Chicago area. Some, like the BN or Northwesterns, were extensive. Others were vestigal remains of larger plans, and a few were always small. One of the smaller ones was the single trip on the ex Pennsy out to Valparaiso Ind, which Conrail inherited from PC. It ran with a pair of GP 9s and some ex PRR P 70s, though after the EL Cleveland train quit in January 1977, the cars from that service came west and were added to the Valpo train. This is the way it looked in 1978, a pair of GPs and P 70s, seen leaving Union Station.

CR GP9 7301
Title:  CR GP9 7301
Description:  Conrail GP9 7301 at 18th Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in May 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The bridge in the background was the IC/ICG Saint Charles Air Line.

Number 7301 was built in April 1954 as Cleveland Union Terminal (CUT/NYC) 5701 (c/n 19522) on EMD Order 5340. It later became PC/CR 7301, then VTR 751, then SLR 1751, then SLR 58. It is seen in charge of Train Number 456, The Valpo.

The Valpo first ran for the PRR on August 30, 1869, then called the Chicago–Valparaiso Accommodation. It was also referred to as The Valpo Local or The Dummy. It passed into the hands of the PC and then the CR. Sometime in 1979 it passed into Amtrak, renamed The Calumet, and continued until 1991.
