Here is a photo by Philip R. Hastings. It was included in a six-page camera study entitled "Pennsy Photo Section" that was published originally in the August 2001 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 40. Partial Caption: "We're aboard the lead E-7 diesel of PRR Train 32, the eastbound 'St. Louisan,' on a drizzly day in 1956. Just behind us are two more E units, 16 cars, and the tunnels at Gallitzin, summit of the main line over the Alleghenies. . . . This routine conquering of the Allegheny Mountains ~ the great barrier to early commerce ~ was why the original Harrisburg-Pittsburgh portion of the PRR was built." |
