Description:  Great roster shot by Forrest Trittenbach of PRR #2445 built by Alco in 1965. The C425 model delivered 2500 hp. Forrest Trittenbach photo. No date or location was given for the photo but Warren Evans supplied some insights. With the loco behind marked "PC", this has to be after 1968. Also, although not yet marked, it is technically PC C425 #2445. Thanks, Warren, for you help..
