| 12th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains in Altoona, Pennsylvania, during the Fall of 1959. Shown here is PRR engine #8670, an AS-18AM built by ALCO in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. It is heading East under the 12th Street Bridge on its way to East Altoona to couple onto another train for the push over the Allegheny Mountains. Also visible is another AS-18AM, #8656, along with the shadow of the Passenger Station's Train Shed in the background. |
