PC Boxcab B-1 #4751 - Penn Central
Description:
Unique throwback to an earlier Pennsylvania era is this little boxy electric unit. From various online sources, it appears that this unit was stored at the Sunnyside Yard but not used. Possibly in reserve waiting for one more run. The little BB-2 unit was built in 1926 possibly by Alco and according to one source was originally #3912. Unknown photographer of the slide.

PC Boxcab #4751
Description:
Once a fixture in the Sunnyside Yard of Queens, NY, it appears that it may be in a scrap line now that it has come to Cleveland. Michael A. Tedesco caught this boxcab possibly built by Alco in 1926 looking like a derelict now.

PRR 4781-4780, DD-1, 1973
Description:
RRMP. Here is an original photo that I took at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, on 30 June 1973. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engines #4781 and #4780. They are permanently-linked DD-1's built in Juniata during May of 1911 and rated at 3,160 horsepower. #4781's original number was "3937," while #4780's was "3936." According to the RRMP, "The Museum is home to DD-1's Nos. 3937 and 3936, built in 1911. These two locomotives formed a married pair and operated in the tunnels beneath the Hudson River between New Jersey and New York City until being relegated to yard work in 1924." Visible in the background is one of the RRMP's exhibit halls during its construction.
