| Celebration. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide (converted to B&W) of (L to R) Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5813 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. Both are BH-50'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. #5813 was constructed in May of 1947 and retired in September of 1962 after just 15 years of revenue service. The photographer's name, the exact date, and the location are not recorded. |
