PRR 7030, EFS-17M, 1962
Title:  PRR 7030, EFS-17M, 1962
Description:  Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken near Tyrone, Pennsylvania, in January of 1962. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7030 and seven more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EFS-17M road switchers built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,750 horsepower each. #7030 was built in November of 1955. In this context, eight "Geep's" are pulling a single cabin car in what appears to be a combined power move/caboose hop on its way to Altoona in the late afternoon hours of a frigid Winter's day.
