Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #6329 and #6061. #6329 is an AF-30 built by the American Locomotive Company in December of 1966 and rated at 3,000 horsepower. #6061 is an EF-30A built by GM-EMD in February of 1966 and rated at 3,000 horsepower.

Partially visible at the left are two structures belonging to the PRR's 12th Street Car Shops. |
