PRR 5853, EP-20, 1948         
Zak. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Martin S. Zak that was taken in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in April of 1948. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5853 and two more E-7's whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5853 was built in September of 1947. In this context, they're awaiting their next passenger run to Pittsburgh and points West. Note the lack of train phone antennae.
