Remarks & Notes 
The stark view of just another pusher set shoving tonnage up the mountain leaving town is in concert with the harsh July sunlight conditions this was taken in, some 60 years ago at the soon to-be-retired tower known as Alto. PRR Class EH15. At the upper left of the photo, there was a steam helper facillity for passenger trains.
