Here is page one of a six-page camera study celebrating the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Centipedf" locomotives. It was published originally in the May-June 1973 issue of "PC Railroader" magazine, page 23. All of these locomotives were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as 3,000 horsepower BP-60's for passenger service, but later regeared and downgraded to 2,500 horsepower BH-50's for freight and helper service.
