| Description: |
Tyrone. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, on 19 September 1964. Shown here (R to L) are PRR engines #7238, #7189-B, and #7233. All are EFS-17M's built by EMD. #7238 and #7233 were built in 1959, but #7189-B was built in 1957. They are pulling an 86-car eastbound mixed-cargo freight train with caboose #477822. This photo was taken just West of the Tyrone Station. |
