Electric switcher |
| Description: |
When Pennsy electrified, everything under wire got electric power, including switchers. Dad caught this B 3(0-6-0) working with an RF&P car at Sunnyside from the LIRR. Note the washer moving along the string of P 70's in the background, as well as the sign on the building, proclaiming Sunnyside as the world's largest passenger car yard. |
