Cab Ride. Here is the fourth of nine successive original photos that I took while riding in the cab of a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger locomotive on 29 December 1962. Shown here are two diesel locomotives pulling an eastbound freight near Derry, Pennsylvania. The unit closest to the camera is PRR engine #2403, an AF-24 built by the American Locomotive Company in October of 1962 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. It's practically brand new!
