| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1967. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #2222, #2281, and #2221. All were built by GM-EMD. #2222 and #2221 are EF-22's constructed in April of 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower each, while #2281 is an EF-25 built in June of 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. In this context, they're rounding the Curve on their way down to East Altoona after finishing a helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Produced and distributed by FJC Products of Newport, Delaware. |
