PRR DD1 #28 - Pennsylvania RR |
| Description: |
Built by the Juniata shops in 1910, this is one of those cross-over locoomotives that had steam engine characteristics but ran on DC. These were semi-permanently coupled pairs. The unknown photographer made notes about it in terms of a steam locomotive - "4-4-4-4 type, class DD-1, 72" drivers, 313,000 lb weight, exerts 66,000 lbs tractive effort." Caught here in Morris Park Engine Yard, outside Long Island. The sepia photo lost details when flipped to b&w so left it untouched. |

PRR DD1 #30 |
| Description: |
Built by the Altonna shops circa 1911, the DD1 units were semi-permanently coupled pairs of third rail direct current electric locomotives. Each half-locomotive contained one large electric motor mounted in the body and driving via a jackshaft and side rods. Those electric motors gave the DD1 a potential top speed of 85 mph. Thanks to Thomas Ayers (see comment below), the locaiton has been identified as PRR's Sunnyside yards in Long Island City, NY/ Thanks Thomas for your help! |

PRR 4-4-4-4 #6110 |
| Description: |
Strange yet appealing "siarknose" design by Raymond Loewy gives the PRR duplex a unique look. Here it's ready to pull the trailing passenger train, sometimes hitting 80-100mph speeds. Date is approximate |
