Title:
PRR 5908, BS-6, 1962
Description:
Byerly. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by William Woelfer that was taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in July of 1962. Photo Caption: "Baldwin VO-660 #5908, 660-hp, at Philadelphia, Pa." Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5908, a BS-6 switcher built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in August of 1942, rated at 660 horsepower, and retired in June of 1964 after 22 years of revenue service. It's one of the PRR's very first diesel-electric locomotives! This photo comes from a color slide set entitled "Diesels On The Pennsylvania" that's produced and distributed by Blackhawk Films of Davenport, Iowa (819-14).
