Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5818 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded.

In this context they've just passed under the Bridge with the eastbound "Gotham Limited" and will soon enter the New Portage Tunnel on their way down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and Harrisburg. Note that the first car in the train is the Pennsy-Pullman car named "North Vineland." (Gift from Brad Mann.)
