PRR 5824, BH-50, c. 1955
Description:
Altoona Action. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken at the Passenger Station in Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1955. Shown here (R to L) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5824 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are BH-50's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as BP-60's rated at 3,000 horsepower each, but later regeared and classified as BH-50's rated at 2,500 horsepower each. #5824 was built in May of 1947 and retired in April of 1962 after just 15 years of service. In this context, they've just passed under the 12th Street Footbridge and are returning to East Altoona after serving as "pushers" on a freight train headed up the Allegheny Mountains to Gallitzin, where they were uncoupled to head back down "The Mountain" for yet another helper/pusher run.

Prominent here (R to L) 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 constructed in February of 1948 and retired in April of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. In this context, they've just passed through the New Portage Tunnel with a passenger train on their way down the Allegheny Mountains to Altoona and points East. The signal at the far left is for the eastbound track of the New Portage Secondary line.
