Shown here (L to R) are Penn Central engine #4258 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by GM-EMD. #4258 is an E8A built for the Pennsylvania Railroad as number "5798" in June of 1952, rated at 2,250 horsepower, and renumbered "4258" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger. in this context, they're about to depart the Station with a passenger train bound for Altoona and points West.
