| Celebration. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Martin Zak that was taken in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in June of 1950. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5833 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. Both are BP-60's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as BP-60 passenger engines rated at 3,000 horsepower each, but later regeared and reclassified as 2,250 horsepower BH-50's for freight and helper service only. #5833 was built in February of 1948 and retired in April of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. Dominating the background are exterior portions of the Passenger Station's trainshed. |
