PRR 5825, BP-60, 1952         
Mann. Here is a photo by Jay Black that was taken in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on 15 August 1952. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5825 and #5815. Both are BP-60's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, rated at 3,000 horsepower each, but later regeared and reclassified as 2,250 horsepower BH-50's for freight and helper service only. #5825 was constructed in May of 1947 and retired in April of 1962, while #5815 was built in October of 1947 and retired in September of 1962. In this context, they've just departed the Harrisburg Station with a passenger train bound for Altoona and points West. (Gift from Brad Mann.)
