| Sweetland. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by David R. Sweetland that was taken in Birmingham, Pennsylvania, in April of 1961. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #9601 and two "AF" Class B-units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by the American Locomotive Company. #9601 is an AF-15 built in July of 1948, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in December of 1963 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a fully-loaded mineral train from Altoona to Enola. Also visible are some of the Quarry-Company Houses which once occupied this little valley. |
