Description:
FSF. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1963. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8670, #8664, and another unit whose road number is not recorded. All are AS-18AM road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8670 was constructed in March of 1958, while #8664 was built in February of the same year. They're serving as tail-end pushers on an ore train heading up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they'll uncouple and return to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." In the mid-distance is the 7th Street Bridge; on the right are several of the PRR's Altoona Car Shop buildings. The photographer's name and the date are not recorded. Photo taken from the 4th Street Footbridge.

PRR 8665, AS-18AM, c. 1960
Description:
Sweetland. Here is duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, in October of 1960. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8665 and #8672. Both are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company during 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. In this context, they're pushing a westbound mixed-cargo freight train that is already passing through the Allegheny Tunnel; in a matter of minutes, though, they'll uncouple and return to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." In the left foreground is the link to the westbound New Portage Secondary Track.
