Description:
Here is a photo by Gary R. Zuters. It was included in a 24-page booklet entitled "World Famous Horseshoe Curve" that was published in 2006 by The Railroad Press, page 7. Partial Caption: "In this scene from August 1961, a pair of very rare Baldwin RT-624 cantercabs are making their way around Horseshoe Curve with a 'porthole' caboose....The 8965 is the highest-numbered centercab delivered to the Pennsylvania Railroad by Baldwin." Shown here (L to R) is PRR engine #8965 and another "BS" Class unit whose road number is not recorded. Both were built by Baldwin. #8965 is a BS-24M built in November of 1951, rated at 2,400 horsepower, and retired in July of 1966 after just 15 years of revenue service. They are pulling a single N-5C cabin car whose road number is not recorded.
