Hey...look...The Saint Louisan behind classic Pennsylvania EMD E Units passing a manned tower! It must be 1955!

Nope, Bennett Levans repainted and restored to their original owners and colors pull the overnight "Pittsburgh Excursion" into Altoona during 2007s Altoona Railfest. Alto tower, unlike hundreds of its cousins, remains manned due to this very busy section of the railroad.

I've always wondered if they still have twin 12 cylinder 567s under those shells of if they've been repowered. Am also curious as to weather or not the dynamic brakes have been changed so that each power plant has its own grids or if that too is still like how it was when it left EMD, minus the change to the DB hatch as it is in this shot.
