Here is a photo taken by Mr. Bob Lorenz. It was published originally in the January 1961 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 40-41. Photo Caption: "With two Fairbanks-Morse hood units going full blast, an eastbound Pennsylvania Railroad coal drag climbs the Alleghenies west of Gallitzin, Pa., in the summer of 1960. This cut near the town of Cassandra is protected with a slide detector fence." Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #8919 and #8929. Both are FS-20M road switchers built by Fairbanks-Morse and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #8919 was constructed in May of 1951 and retired in July of 1966, while #8929 was built in June of 1951 and retired in February of 1967. |
