| Description: |
Kern. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Fred R. Kern that was taken near Marysville, Pennsylvania, on 1 January 1954. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5894 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,250 horsepower each. #5894 was constructed during March of 1951. Note the "newer" and "older" paint schemes. This A-A set has just crossed the Rockville Bridge with a 12-car passenger train, and is en route from New York City to Pittsburgh. The slide mount is annotated "Train 25" so, in those days, it was called "The Duquesne." |

PRR Lancaster Excursion, 1965 |
| Description: |
Muleshoe. Here is an original photo that I took at the Muleshoe Curve on the New Portage Branch line west of Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on 17 October 1965. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5898 and three more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-22's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #5898 was constructed in March of 1951. They're pulling the "Horseshoe Curve Excursion" that was sponsored by the Lancaster Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The ten-car Excursion departed Lancaster bright and early on a Sunday morning, following the PRR's mainline through Harrisburg to Huntingdon. There, it switched over to the Petersburg-Hollidaysburg Branch line and followed the undulating Juniata River to Hollidaysburg ~ where the train stopped so that passengers could take guided tours of the PRR's Samuel Rea Shop. After leaving Hollidaysburg, the Excursion passed WYE Tower in Duncansville and took the New Portage Branch line via the Muleshoe Curve up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin. There, it passed through the westbound Allegheny Tunnel, navigated the wye at Gallitzin, and passed through the eastbound New Portage Tunnel on its way back down the Eastern Slope of the Alleghenies. At the Horseshoe Curve, the Excursion stopped to allow the passengers to visit the PRR's K-4S "Pacific" #1361 enshrined there. After all were safely back on board, the train continued down the Mountains to Altoona and the return trip to Lancaster ~ a round trip of over 350 happy miles! |

It was published originally in the Autumn 1996 issue of "The Keystone" magazine, page 46. Bottom Photo: Shown here are PRR engines #5898 and three other "E" units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by GM-EMD. #5898 is an EP-22 built in 1951 and rated at 2,250 horsepower. Middle Photo: Shown here are PRR engines #8610 and another unit whose number is not recorded. Both were built by the American Locomotive Company. #8610 is an APS-24MS built in 1956 and rated at 2,400 horsepower. These units are actually the rear-end "pushers" for the mail-express train pictured in the bottom photo. |

PRR 5898 - St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern |
| Description: |
This is the 5898's good side, the one with the pinstripes. I really hope they can repaint this sometime, it's a shame to see something with the potential to look so nice, look so horrible. |
