| Here is a composit article-with-photo that was published originally in the January 1948 issue of "Trains" magazine, pages 64 & 66. Photo Caption: "This is the Friendship Train as it appeared east of Pittsburgh on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The locomotive is a Baldwin diesel. Inset shows how some of the train's freight cars were decorated." Prominent here is PRR engine #5827 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. #5827 was constructed in October of 1948 and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. (Don't ask me how a magazine published in January has a photo of an engine not yet built!) |
