| Dziobko. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by John Dziobko, Jr., that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 25 July 1952. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8798 and another GP-7 whose number is not recorded. #8798 is an ES-15M road switcher built by GM-EMD in January of 1952 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. They are parked under the WWII-era coaling tipple, awaiting their next helper/pusher run up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin and back. Behind them are various passenger cars awaiting reconditioning in the Passenger Car Shops beyond them. |
