| Mann. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken near Perdix, Pennsylvania, on 3 October 1957. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #7027, #7020, and two more "Geeps" whose numbers are not recorded. All are EFS-17M road switchers built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7027 and #7020 were both built in November of 1955. They're pulling a mixed-cargo freight out of Enola bound for Altoona and points West. Partially visible at the left is the left-to-right flowing Susquehanna River on its merry way to Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Blue Mountain dominates the distance. ("PrrFan18n") |
