| Here is page 24 of a 96-page monograph entitled "Power To Burn: Smoke, Steam, & Cinders" that was edited by James M. Shafer and published during 1976. Photo Caption: "PRR No. 26, a Class DD-1 electric, obtained current through a 'third rail' shoe. It also had 'pickups' mounted atop the roof of the locomotive." #26 is a DD-1 (2-B+B-2) locomotive, assigned to the PRR's New York Terminal District. This semi-permanently-coupled pair actually consists of engines #3984 and #3985, both built in Juniata during July of 1910 and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. In October of 1927, they were sold to the Long Island Rail Road and renumbered "343-B" and "342-B" respectively. |
