| Here is page 12 of a 24-page cover article entitled "Horseshoe Curve: 150 Years." It was published originally in the August 2004 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 49. Lower Right Photo, Partial Caption: "Heading a train of locally-mind coal (note the Cambria & Indiana hopper), Centipede 5828 and mate descend the west side of the Curve [on September 9th,] 1951. Photo by Thomas J. McNamara." Shown here (L to R) is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5828 and another unit whose road number is not recorded. Both are BH-50'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. #5828 was constructed in November of 1948 and retired in April of 1962 after just 14 years of revenue service. |
