PRR E&M Yard, #2 of 3, 1963
Description:
E&M. Here is an original photo that I took at the Pennsylvania Railroad's Juniata E&M Shop Yard in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 10 August 1963. Shown here is a view to the right of the trusty turntable. Visible are dozens of locomotives in various states of repair: from work almost finished to being cannibalized. Many makes and models are represented. Visible in the foreground is what is left of PRR engine #7071, an EFS-17M built by EMD in 1956 and rated at 1,750 horsepower. Directly beyond it is PRR engine #8987, a BS-12 built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in 1951 and rated at 1,200 horsepower.

"Steam From Altoona," Page 25, 1963
Description:
Here is page two of an eight-page article by William D. Gorman entitled "Steam From Altoona." It was published originally in the December 1963 issue of "Railroad" magazine, page 25. Quoted From The Text: "Fireman W.C. Fink was working industriously with a clinker hook to transform two dull red spots in her firebox into the more suitable 'white hot with whiskers' color. The Q-2's exhaust barked louder as Engineman Ike Burket let her out a little. . . . 'How do you like her, Ike?' the Fireman asked . . . . Burket shrugged. 'Too much iron.'"
