PRR 6506, GF-25A, c. 1965 |
| Description: |
Here is a postal card via Peter Outerbridge entitled "Embraceable U." Caption On Reverse: "Pennsylvania Railroad's voluptuous U25C No. 6506 delivered 2,500 hp in a reliable new locomotive introduced in the mid-1960's. It was General Electric's first big 6-axle diesel and, as with many other full-figured diesel models, Pennsy was one of the first railroads to embrace it." Shown here is PRR engine #6506, a GF-25A built by General Electric in April of 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded. |

PRR 6027, EF-25A, 1966 |
| Description: |
Winter Day. Here is an original photo that I took in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in February of 1966. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6027, #6506, and #6026. All are rated at 2,500 horsepower. #6027 and #6026 are EF-25A's built by GM-EMD in April of 1965, while #6506 is a GF-25A built by General Electric in April of 1965. They've just passed under the 7th Street Bridge and are about to enter the Eastbound Receiving Yard with a fully-loaded mineral train. The venerable black water tower ~ last vestige of the Age of Steam in this part of town ~ stands silently at the right. |
