| Spring Meadow. Here is an original photo that I took at the Spring Meadow Crossing near Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of 29 March 1964. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8626 and #8651. Both are AS-18M's road switchers built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. #8626 was constructed in February of 1957, while #8651 was built in December of the same year. In this context, they're pulling six freight cars and two cabin cars from the Hollidaysburg Yards to the Altoona Yards. |
