| Here is a photo taken by Mr. Clayton Tinkham. It was published originally in the June 1957 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 58. Photo Caption: "Centipedes in happier days before being relegated to Pennsylvania's grubbier jobs." Shown here (L to R) is PRR engine #5833 and another "Centipede" whose road number is not recorded. Both are BP-60's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, rated at 3,000 horsepower each, and later regeared and reclassified as 2,500 horsepower BH-50's. #5833 was built in February of 1948 and retired in April of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. |
