PRR 6011, EF-25A, 1965         
Slope to Works. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trains between SLOPE and WORKS Towers in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 06 June 1965. Shown here (F to R) are PRR engines #6011 and #6010. Both are EF-25A's built by EMD in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. They are pulling a westbound ore train which is about to pass under the 12th Street Bridge on its way up to the Horseshoe Curve, the tunnels at Gallitzin, and the steel mills of Pittsburgh.

Peter Hultgren General I see three crew members in the cab, and I would bet there are at least two more in the caboose at the end of the train. Long gone are the days of a five-man train crew. It looks like the engineer has "kicked back" a little, propping up his right leg. This picture really captures a moment and an era quite well! 7/4/2016 11:01:48 AM
