PRR DS-4-4-1000 9275
Description:
PRR DS-4-4-1000 9275 somewhere in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa June 1965, photo by R. S. Short, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in January, 1949 (c/n 73888), Baldwin built two versions of the DS-4-4-1000, the successor to the VO-1000. The first version was powered by a normally-aspired 608NA eight-cylinder diesel, and the second version was powered by the 606SC six-cylinder Elliot turbocharged diesel. The spotting feature is four exhaust stacks for the 608NA, and a single stack for the 606SC.

PRR SW7 9360
Description:
PRR SW7 9360 at Englewood ( Chicago ), Illinois on April 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1950 (c/n 10433) on EMD Order 4031, it was apparently renumbered PRR 9068 (2nd), later PC 9086, then CR 9086, then scrapped at Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. I'll bet the Englewood tower guy was happy about clearing two trains across the Rock Island at the same time.

PRR DR-4-4-1500 9570
Description:
PRR DR-4-4-1500 9570 across from EMD at La Grange, Illinois on November 15, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 73701), one of 34 DR-4-4-1500 "Sharknose" A units numbered in the 9568A - 9593A and 9700A - 9707A number series. Previous to the PRR order, Baldwin's DR-4-4-1500 was delivered in the "baby face" carbody style. The PRR's initial order of 26 A-units and 26 B-units were delivered in 1949, and a follow-up order for eight A-B sets was placed in 1949 for 1950 delivery. These last eight units introduced yet another refinement; the cab was moved one foot forward, with a corresponding reduction in the length of the nose. Number 9570 is seen here on its last mile, on the Pielet Brothers setout track across the IHB main from EMD's plant in La Grange.

PRR X29 9704
Description:
PRR X29 9704 at Jeffersonville, Indiana on April 2, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is an example of one of the tens of thousands class X29 boxcars built by the PRR and outside suppliers. This shows the as built (November 1929) flat ends. It has two reporting marks peeking through the paint; PRR 9704 and PC 37753. The PRR number is rather low by PRR standards, suggesting it may have once been an express car. It would have been built with a three panel Creco door, likely acquiring this door during a shopping. It is stenciled: BLT 11-29. It is likely riding on PRR's 2DF4 trucks.

PRR X29 9704
Description:
PRR X29 9704 (or, PC 37753) at Jeffersonville, Indiana on April 8, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1929, this is an example of an X29 as-built with flat ends. It is in sand service (yellow S, and stenciled to the right of the door: ENGINE SAND ONLY). To the left of the reporting marks it is also stenciled: WHEN EMPTY RETURN TO PC AGENT STORES DEPT BEECH GROVE. When in sand service, typically there were two bunkers in the car, one at each end, roof hatches to fill the bunkers with sand, and pneumatic hoses to discharge the sand located behind the doors. At one time there were over 30,000 X29's (all variations).
