PRR

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 2:50 PM

I was at our modelrailroading club in my town. I saw a long PRR locomotive going around the mainline. I asked the guy controlling it and he said it was a centipede and nothing else. Does anyone have anymore information. Manufactuer etc.
Thanks

Baldwin made these huge locomotives. Eventually they were downgraded to pushers because, while powerful, they were not reliable. I suspect an internet search for Baldwin Centipede would turn up plenty of photos
Centipede was, needless to say, not the official name.
