| Description: |
Dziobko. Here is an image of a photo by John Dziobko, Jr., that was taken at the Passenger Station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 10 September 1951. Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5833 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. Both are BP-60'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. #5833 was built in February of 1948 and retired in April of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a mail and express train that's paused at the Station for crew changes before heading up the Allegheny Mountains to Pittsburgh and points West. William E. Burket Collection. |
