PRR 5819, BP-60, 1952 |
| Description: |
Lorenz. Here is a photo via Bob Lorenz that was taken at the Horseshoe Curve near Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1952. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8800, #5819, and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. #8800 is an ES-15M built by GM-EMD in January of 1952 and rated at 1,500 horsepower. #5819 and its mate are both BP-60's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as BP-60's rated at 3,000 horsepower each, but later regeared and classified as BH-50's rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #5819 was built in January of 1948 and retired in April of 1962. In this context, they're ascending the Allegheny Mountains and rounding the Curve with a mail and express train bound for Pittsburgh ~ but at Gallitzin, the "Geep" will uncouple and return to the Altoona Passenger Station for yet another helper run up "The Mountain." (Gift from Brad Mann.) |

IC Train 208 |
| Description: |
It's a few minutes after 5 P.M. and Illinois Central train No. 208, the NORTHEASTERN LIMITED, has just backed out of Shreveport Union Station and is now moving forward, beginning its 313-mile, 9-hour journey to Meridian, Mississippi and a connection with the Southern Railway's northbound PELICAN. Today's train has four mail-and-express cars, a Railway Post Office and three coaches, although it typically ran with just one coach. In the station, Kansas City Southern train No. 10 from New Orleans is being combined with train No. 16 which originated in Port Arthur and will soon depart for Kansas City. IC No. 208 - and its counterpart No. 205 - would be discontinued between Vicksburg and Meridian on 24 October 1967, and between Shreveport and Vicksburg on 30 March 1968. (approximate date of photo) |
