PRR 8676, AS-18AM, 1965         
ARB. Here is an original 35mm color slide by William D. Volkmer that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 23 August 1965. Prominent here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8676 and #8669. Both are AS-18AM's built by the American Locomotive Company in March of 1958 and rated at 1,800 horsepower each. In this context, they await their next helper/pusher run up "The Mountain." Partially visible in the mid-background is the 8th Street Bridge in Juniata.
