PRR 5787, BF-16Z, c. 1961
Title:  PRR 5787, BF-16Z, c. 1961
Description:  Oil Power. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide (converted to B&W) of a photo by Frank Tatnall that was taken in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, c. 1961. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5787 and two "BF" Class B-units whose road numbers are not recorded. All were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. #5787 was constructed as a BP-20 rated at 2,000 horsepower in December of 1948, later regeared and reclassified as a BF-16Z rated at 1,600 horsepower, and retired in September of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. They're about to pass through the Huntingdon Passenger Station with a manifest freight train bound for Conway.
