Shown here are PRR engines #6027, #2412, and #7069. #6027 is an EF-25A built by EMD in 1965 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. #2412 is an AF-24 built by ALCo in 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. #7069 is an EFS-17M built by EMD in 1956 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. They are pulling a 49-car westbound mixed-cargo freight train with cabin car #477382. Also visible are the Little Juniata River on the left and State Route 45 on the right. |
