PRR DD1 #28 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
Built by the Juniata shops in 1910, this is one of those cross-over locoomotives that had steam engine characteristics but ran on DC. These were semi-permanently coupled pairs. The unknown photographer made notes about it in terms of a steam locomotive - "4-4-4-4 type, class DD-1, 72" drivers, 313,000 lb weight, exerts 66,000 lbs tractive effort." Caught here in Morris Park Engine Yard, outside Long Island. The sepia photo lost details when flipped to b&w so left it untouched.

Description:
Built by the Altonna shops circa 1911, the DD1 units were semi-permanently coupled pairs of third rail direct current electric locomotives. Each half-locomotive contained one large electric motor mounted in the body and driving via a jackshaft and side rods. Those electric motors gave the DD1 a potential top speed of 85 mph. Thanks to Thomas Ayers (see comment below), the locaiton has been identified as PRR's Sunnyside yards in Long Island City, NY/ Thanks Thomas for your help!

Here is an original photo by an unidentified photographer of Pennsylvania Railroad Street Tractor #446. Built in Juniata, it is a rubber-tired, gas-electric machine with standard couplers, grab irons, footboards, and air brakes; it's steered with a huge, vertically-mounted wheel ~ not unlike the helm of a sailing ship! Photo taken on 23 October 1954 in Baltimore, Maryland. Roy Healey Collection; #1 of 16. (#3,333)
