Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Richard Short that was taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during June of 1959. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5752 and another unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5752 is an AFP-20 built as an AP-20 in October of 1947, later regeared and reclassified as an AFP-20, and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a passenger train through the interlocking which surrounds ZOO Tower. ("Tchowee"; #1 of 29) |
