Work horse for PPR for 50 years.
Best looking locomotive ever.
I saw those running for New Jersey Transit (who kept them in their Penn Central-era black paint); they retired them in 1984. The last route they served was New York to Bay Head; they ran as far as South Amboy, where they were exchanged for diesels.
I agree. Also a successful locomotive, not designed by some government idjets...
Unfortunately, most of the ones left don't look anywhere as good now...
