Your answer is right there in the remarks for the picture. :)

"Remarks: A mixed batch of power haul 18G thru Jeannette, PA. San Diego Coaster #2101 is sixth out an enroute to Altoona for wheelwork."

NS has a large backshop (former Conrail) there in Altoona that they use for contract rebuilds and repairs for other railroads, plus thier own stuff. You can usually see a large variety of power around the shop at times.

Be sure to watch what forum you post to . This would be better in the Eatern forum...
