Museum Bound. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania, on 10 July 1965. Shown here are PRR engines #2250, #2305, and three other units whose numbers are not visible. #2250 is an EF-22 built by EMD in 1963 anX rated at 2,250 horsepower. #2305 is an EF-25 built by EMD in 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower.

Huntingdon. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, during October of 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #2250, #2272, and two other units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by EMD. #2250 is an EF-22 built in 1963 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. #2272 is an EF-25 built in 1964 and rated at 2,500 horsepower. They are pulling a westbound mixed-cargo freight train through the Huntingdon Station after crossing 4th Street. More of the train is visible in the distance as it snakes around the "S" curve just East of the Station. |
