Waters. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, during mid-February of 1966. Shown here is PRR engine #8836, an AS-16M built by the American Locomotive Company in 1951 and rated at 1,600 horsepower. It is idling near the East Altoona Locomotive Ready Tracks, the 17th Street Bridge, and the East Altoona Roundhouse. |
