<p>I grew up in Altoona during the fifties.  I took the train to New York many times to visit my uncle.  At Harrisburg the E7s and E8s were replaced by GG1s to pull the train to New York.  I usually rode one of the secondary trains from Altoona to New York, but almost always returned on one of the premium trains, i.e. General, Spirit of St. Louis, The Penn Texas.  </p> <p>I don't recall timing the power change at Harrisburg, but I don't believe it took 20 minutes. As I remember it, especially with respect to the flagship trains, the crews seemed to take pride in their work. I don't remember the power change on the premium trains taking very long.  This was especially true if the train was late.</p>
