Summary
| Description |
This GP9 locomotive is on display at Horseshoe Curve, west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, USA. The engine is a General Motors Electro-Motive Division GP7 that was built in December 1955 and became Pennsylvania Railroad # 7048. It was Penn Central # 7048 after the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad merged in the late 1960s. In the 1970s, it became Conrail # 7048 and was painted blue and white. In 1985, the engine was placed at Horseshoe Curve and restored to its original Pennsylvania Railroad paint job. The rocks in the background are part of the Horseshoe Curve railroad cut (Kittanning Point; Kittanning Mountain). These are fluvial sandstones of the Rockwell Formation (Famennian Stage to Kinderhookian Stage, upper Upper Devonian to lower Lower Mississippian). |
