PRR 6303, AF-27, c. 1966 |
| Description: |
Altoona Action. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken West of Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1966. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6303, #6301, #6309, plus four more units whose road numbers are not recorded. #6303, #6301, and #6309 are all AF-27's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1965 and rated at 2,750 horsepower each. In this context, they're climbing the Allegheny Mountains with a mixed-cargo freight train to Gallitzin, where the first three units will uncouple and return to East Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain."
