| Spring Meadow. Here is an original photo that I took at the Spring Meadow Crossing near Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of 22 April 1965. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #8617, an AS-18M road switcher built by the American Locomotive Company in August of 1956 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. In this context, it's pulling the five-car "Bedford Local" to the Altoona Yards. |
