PRR E&M Yard, #1 of 3, 1963
Title:  PRR E&M Yard, #1 of 3, 1963
Description:  E&M. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Juniata E&M Shop Yard in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 10 August 1963. Shown here is the trusty turntable on the left. Beyond it are dozens of locomotives in various states of repair: from work almost finished to being cannibalized. Many makes and models are represented. Parked next to an unidentified Baldwin "Shark" in the foreground is PRR engine #5850, an EP-20 built by EMD in 1947 and rated at 2,000 horsepower.
