PC LRS-1200 #8062 - Penn Central (ex-New York Central)
Title:  PC LRS-1200 #8062 - Penn Central (ex-New York Central)
Description:  This appears to be a transition photo of the rare 1950 Lima-Hamilton LRS-1200 unit (nee-NYC 5810, renmbrd 6210) wearing its new Penn Central number before the full PC black paint scheme was applied. Sixteen of these units were built only for NYC just before Lima-Hamilton merged with Baldwin in November of 1950. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so "guess-timates" were used.

PC 8062
Title:  PC 8062
Description:  PC 8062 is quite a rare bird. One of only two Lima diesels to make it onto PC's roster, it and sister engine no. 8063 were repowered with EMD 12-567B prime movers and EMD D4 generators by NYC. They retained their Westinghouse Electric type 362 traction motors. Larry Eastwood photo, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
