PRR 9203, ES-6, 1965 |
| Description: |
Doodlebug. Here is an original telephoto view that I took of Pennsylvania Railroad equipment in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on 03 September 1965. Shown here (L to R) are PRR #9203 and #4666. #9203 is an ES-6 built by EMD in 1949 and rated at 600 horsepower. It is simply idiling-away at the end of a busy week. #4666 is a J.G. Brill Gas-Electric Model 660 "Doodlebug" built in 1930. It has been retired from active service on the PRR and is awaiting final disposition. Some fates are kinder than others: #9203 was retired by the Penn Central Railroad around 1978, while #4666 was reconditioned for excursion service and still exists as of 30 July 2016 ~ that's 86 years! |
