PRR CFA16-4 #9496 - Pennsylvania RR
Title:  PRR CFA16-4 #9496 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:  Fairly nice photo of the 1956 Fairbanks-Morse CFA16-4 built in 1950 for the PRR. The unit has the PRR characteristic double Trainfone antenna along the top. The antenna had several nicknames like "razorback" hog, "handrail to nowhere" and others. According to Wikipedia "The biggest problem with the trainphone system was that it could not work in electrified zones, because of interference from the electric supply and electrical equipment on the locomotive. Since the electrified zones were among the PRR's busiest, this was a serious disadvantage." No photographer or exact day in 1961 was listed.

Title:  PRR H-24-66 #8704 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:  Fair quality photo by an unknown photographer of the Fairbanks-Morse H-24-66 unit built in 1956. Sitting with the FM unit is PRR caboose 478055 which would go onto the PC roster as #23339 and then Conrail as #23339. Last known sighting was at Rose Yard in Altoona, PA. May have been scrapped. To fhe far right is an unknown unit.
