PRR 8617, AS-18M, 1965         
Spring Meadow. Here is an original photo that I took of a Pennsylvania Railroad train at the Spring Meadow Crossing near Duncansville, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of 22 April 1965. Shown here is PRR engine #8617, an AS-18M built by the American Locomotive Company in 1956 and rated at 1,800 horsepower. It is pulling a five-car freight train from the Hollidaysburg Yards to the Altoona Yards. The N-5 caboose is #477148. Also visible are the "One Lane Bridge" and "Small Tubes" signs, as well as Loop Mountain in the distance.
