Here is a photo from the C.P. Munck Collection. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5831 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. #5831 was constructed in January of 1948 and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded. John S. Fisher Collection; #11 of 15. |
