Title:
"Altoona Interlude," Page 65, 1949
Description:
Here is page nine of a 14-page camera study by W.A. Feibelman entitled "Altoona Interlude." It was published originally in his (1979) monograph entitled "Rails To Pittsburgh: 1945-1970," page 65. Top Photo: Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9687 and two more "EH" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All are EH-15's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9687 was built in February of 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in October of 1967. The twin smokestacks belong to the power plant for the PRR's Passenger Car Shops. Bottom Photo: Prominent here is PRR engine #9684, an EH-15 built by GM-EMD in February of 1949, rated at 1,500 horsepower, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in December of 1963.

Title:
PRR 9684, EH-15, 1949
Description:
AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 5 June 1949. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9684 and two more "EH" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All are EH-15's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9684 was constructed as an EH-15 in February of 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in December of 1966 after just 17 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B-A trio is rounding the Curve on its way down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona where it'll await yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Visible at the far left is Milepost 242. ("PrrFan18n")

Title:
PRR 9684, EH-15, c. 1949
Description:
Baera 1. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1949. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9684 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9684 was constructed as an EH-15 in February of 1949, later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in December of 1966 after just 17 years of revenue service. They're pushing a mixed-cargo freight train around the Curve and up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they will be uncoupled and returned to Altoona for yet another helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." (Track 1)
