Here is a photo from a reprint of the November 1956 issue of "Modern Railroads" magazine, pages 80-81. Photo Caption: "Speed and mass movement reach their peak in PRR's heavy-traffic electrified lines. Future electrics may be similar to this rectifier freight locomotive." Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #4996 and #4995. Both are E-3B (B-B-B) electrics built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in June of 1951 and rated at 3,000 horsepower each. The location is an approximation. |
