PRR 9819, EF-15A, 1966
Title:  PRR 9819, EF-15A, 1966
Description:  ELDO Action. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad trackage in the Eldorado section hf Altoona, Pennsylvania, during January of 1966. Shown here is the railroad crossing at 58th Street in Eldorado. Visible in the distance are a switch, a shanty, another position-light signal, as well as a PRR train waiting for permission to proceed. These are the tracks connecting Altoona (to the front) and Hollidaysburg (to the rear). From 1850 to 1854, while the Horseshoe Curve was under construction, this was actually part of the PRR's main line between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
