Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Sea Girt, New Jersey, perhaps during 1963. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5771 and another "Shark" whose number is not recorded. Both are BP-20's built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5771 was built in June of 1948 and retired in May of 1965 after just 17 years of revenue service. In this context, they're pulling a two-car passenger train into the Sea Girt Station. Note that the emergency access door is open; perhaps it's a sultry day in Sea Girt and the crew seeks some extra ventilation! ("LouisFols"; #11 of 31) |
