PRR 8591, AS-16M, 1964         
Gallitzin. Here is an original photo that I took at the State Route 53 Bridge near Gallitzin, Pennsylvania, on 13 September 1964. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8591, #8823, and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are AS-16M road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #8591 was built in October of 1955, but #8823 was built in November of 1951. They're pulling a 100-car eastbound coal train and are about to pass under the Bridge. The N-8 cabin car is #478034. Bringing-up the rear are three GM-EMD "pushers," headed by #9676.
