| Here is the seventh of 18 photos by Fred McLeod that are included in a souvenir brochure entitled "Horseshoe Curve; Pennsylvania Railroad; Altoona, Pa." Photo Caption: "Twin Unit Diesel with the 'Juniata.'" Shown here (R to L) is PRR engine #5751 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are AP-20's built by the American Locomotive Company and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5751 was constructed in October of 1947, later regeared for freight service and reclassified as an AFP-20, and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of revenue service. In this context, this A-B set is powering eastbound Train #72 around the Curve and down the Allegheny Mountains to the Passenger Station in Altoona. Wave to the locomotive's Crewmen! |
