* PRR class APS-24ms, Alco DL-600 RSD7.
**Ordered in September 1955. Delivered in December 1955. Bought by the Pennsy to be used as helpers from Altoona to Gallitzin. Dont know how many there were. Most lived there life in the Altoona helper pool. scraped in 1970 when Penn Central took over. There was extra power and were expendable.
** Also there were APS-24m, Alco DL600b RSD15s. The big blue or the red A C Gilbert diesels are the ones we are mosr familiar with. Made last by Broadway Limited.

100% Beautiful! Pictures and information, beautiful!

I have the Broadway Limited Demonstrator Model DL601. It had/has the single headlight-pair assemblies on each end.
And that radio antenna, end to end, a good Pennsy identification trademark.

This locomotive was/is a good pulling beast of the six-axle kind. And ALCO did well with this locomotive.

Kudos in the entry, Ken and Frank!

Pennsy is one of my favourite East-coast railroads. Seaboard Air Line is my other.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
