| Lorenz. Here is a photo via Bob Lorenz that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1955. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9875 and two more "EF" Class units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9875 is an EF-15A constructed in September of 1952 and retired in October of 1967 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, they're climbing the Allegheny Mountains and rounding the Curve with TrucTrain bound for Conway and points West. (Gift from Brad Mann.) |
