Title:
PRR 7829, BS-6A, 1966
Description:
La Grange. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken in La Grange, Illinois, in January of 1966. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #7829, a BS-6A switcher built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as number "9229" in January of 1949, rated at 660 horsepower, renumbered "7829" in preparation for the PRR-NYC merger, and retired in June of 1967 after just 18 years of revenue service. In this context, it's parked at the GM-EMD plant as a trade-in for newer diesel-electric locomotives. It's ironic . . . one of the first PRR diesels to replace steam locomotives is, itself, now being replaced! Brad Mann Collection.
