| AHC. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1949. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #9699 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #9699 is an EH-15 built in April of 1949, and later regeared and reclassified as an EF-15A, and retired in December of 1963 after just 14 years of revenue service. |
