| Description: |
Dziobko. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by John Dziobko, Jr., that was taken just West of the Passenger Station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on 10 September 1951. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5816 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as 3,000 horsepower BP-60's for passenger service, but later regeared and downgraded to 2,500 horsepower BH-50's for freight and helper service. #5816 was constructed in November of 1947 and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of revenue service. |
