Title:
PRR Westbound Pushers, #3 of 3, 1959
Description:
AHC. Here is the third of three successive photos that I took at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in the Summer of 1959. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8678 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8678 was constructed in April of 1958. They are pushing a merchandise freight train ~ headed by five EMD EFS-17M's ~ up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they will uncouple and return down the Alleghenies to East Altoona for yet another run up the Mountains and back.

All are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each.
