PRR 5829, BH-50, 1964         
Celebration. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide by an unidentified photographer that was taken in Frankstown, Pennsylvania, c. June of 1964. Shown here (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #5829 and #5811. 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. #5829 was constructed in December of 1948, while #5811 was built in March of 1947. Next stop for both: the Reclamation Plant!
