| Volkmer. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by William D. Volkmer that was taken near Pinecroft, Pennsylvania, on 16 April 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5823 and #5813. Both are BH-50's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, rated at 2,500 HP each, and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of service. In this context, they're passing under the Riggle's Gap Bridge with a mixed-cargo freight train on its way from Altoona to Enola.
