ARB. Here is an original 35mm color slide by William D. Volkmer that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 23 August 1965. Prominent here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8676 and #8669. Both are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. In this context, they await their next helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Partially visible in the mid-background is the 8th Street Bridge in Juniata. |
