Just a photo of a Pennsylvania Railroad B6 Electric switcher. The Pennsy and Long Island had a fleet of these for switching at passenger terminals, namely 30th Street in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Sunnyside in Long Island. The Long Island and some Pennsy versions were DC, via third rail, while this version is an A.C. model, powered by the overhead. I never had the pleasure of seeing one of these in action, but I have read that they were much louder than a GG1. Photograph taken July 16, 2010 at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA.
