PRR 5991, ES-6, 1963         
PGH-ALT-63. Here is an original photo that I took while riding in a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train from Pittsburgh to Altoona on 8 September 1963. Shown here is PRR engine #5991, an ES-6 switcher built by GM-EMD in March of 1948 and rated at 600 horsepower. It's shifting two "Railway Express" cabin cars (viz., #5001 and #5024), just East of the PRR's Passenger Station in Pittsburgh. (My train is moving from left to right.)
