| Here is the Association of American Railroads' stock photo #4430. Caption On Reverse: "The 'Trail Blazer,' reclining-seat coach train completely equipped with postwar cars, rolls out of Chicago en route to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New York. The 6,000 horsepower Diesel-electric locomotive will provide smooth-riding power all the way to Harrisburg, Pa., where a sleek electric locomotive will take over for the remaining 195 miles to New York." Shown here (R to L) is PRR engine #5901 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-20's built by GM-EMD and rated at 1,500 horsepower each. #5901 was constructed in September of 1945 and is presently on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. The photographer's name and the date are not recorded. John S. Fisher Collection; #30 of 44. |
