PRR 9450, FF-16, c. 1962 |
| Description: |
BYC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken at the Brick Yard Crossing in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in October of 1962. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9450 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are FF-16's built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #9650 was constructed in September of 1950 and retired in April of 1965 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B-A set is pulling a mixed-cargo freight train up the Allegheny Mountains via the Horseshoe Curve to Gallitzin and points West. |
