Title:
PRR CFA16-4 #9496 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
Fairly nice photo of the 1956 Fairbanks-Morse CFA16-4 built in <950 for the PRR. The unit has the PRR characteristic double Trainfone antenna along the top. The antenna had several nicknames like "razorback" hog, "handrail to nowhere" and others. According to Wikipedia "The biggest problem with the trainphone system was that it could not work in electrified zones, because of interference from the electric supply and electrical equipment on the locomotive. Since the electrified zones were among the PRR's busiest, this was a serious disadvantage." No photographer or exact day in 1961 was listed.
