PRR DR6-4-2000 #5782 - Pennsyvlania RR |
| Description: |
Baldwin, November, 1948 2000hp According to Wikipedia, these Baldwin locos were produced exclusively for the Pennsylvania Railroad and were delivered in 1948 in the sharknose body style designed by Raymond Loewy. The PRR classified them as BP-20 (Baldwin Passenger, 2,000 horsepower or 1,500 kilowatts). They were originally used on top-flight express trains such as the Broadway Limited, but problems soon relegated them to lesser service. They ended their days on commuter trains along the New York and Long Branch in New Jersey. G.E. Lloyd photo |

Chione. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide via Al Chione that was taken in Bay Head Junction, New Jersey, on 15 February 1964. The photographer is not identified. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5782 and another passenger "Shark" whose road number is not recorded. Both are BP-20's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5782 was constructed in October of 1948 and retired in March of 1965 after just 17 years of revenue service. They are poised to begin an early-morning commuter run to South Amboy, New Jersey, where they will be uncoupled and replaced by a GG-1 which will pull the train the remaining distance to New York City's Pennsylvania Station. |
