NH EP-5 #370 - New York, New Haven & Hartford RR |
| Description: |
This 1954 GE built double-ended arc rectifier electric locomotive was one of the first to convert AC from catenary supply or 3rd rail to DC for its 6 GE model 752 traction motors. The unit had a C-C wheel arrangement and could apply a sustained 34,000 lb of tractive effort and labeled as 4,000 hp. Nicknamed "Jets" due to the roaring sound made by their main cooling blowers. This unit of ten EP-5 moved into PC ownership kept its number (PC #370) and reclassified as an E-40 class. After some unfortunate problems with breakdowns, all in the class were scrapped by 1979. |

Here's another GE built loco that converted overhead AC to DC for traction motors. The class had the nickname "Jets" for the roaring sound the blowers made. It was retired before Penn Central took over the New Haven in 1969. |
