PRR 8114, BS-16M, 1964 |
| Description: |
4th Street. Here is an original photo that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 05 April 1964. Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #8114 and #8969. Both are BS-16M's built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton and rated at 1,600 horsepower each. #8114 was constructed in May of 1951 and retired in September of 1967, while #8969 was built in June of 1951 and retired in July of 1966. They are parked near the 4th Street Footbridge and SOUTH Tower, and will resume their yard-shifting duties the following morning. Engine #8114 was once owned by the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad and numbered #40! |

PRR 8114, BS-16M, 1965 |
| Description: |
Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by K.L. Douglas that was taken in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 1965. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #8114 and another unit whose number is not recorded. #8114 is a BS-16M switcher built by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton as Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad number "40" in May of 1951, rated at 1,600 horsepower, purchased by the PRR in 1963 and renumbered "8114," then retired in September of 1967 after just 16 years of combined service. In this context, it's parked near the 4th Street Footbridge and SOUTH Tower. ("Tchowee"; #13 of 39) |
