| Nyman. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in June of 1959. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9803 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9803 is an EF-15A built in March of 1951. In this context, they're pulling a manifest freight train into the Westbound Forwarding Yard where the train will pause for a crew change before proceeding over the Allegheny Mountains to Conway Yard. Photo taken from Juniata's 17th Street Bridge. |
