| 24th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 10 January 1965. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #8607 and #8610. Both are APS-24MS's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 2,400 horsepower each; #8607 was built in 1955, but #8610 was built in 1956. They are pulling a 51-car merchandise freight train down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. The caboose is N-8 #478101. This photo taken just West of the 24th Street Bridge. |
