Here is the first of two successive photos by an unidentified photographer that were taken in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, c. 1950. Shown here in excursion service (R to L) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #5875 and two more units whose road numbers are not recorded. All are EP-20's built by GM-EMD and rated at 2,000 horsepower each. #5875 was constructed in April of 1949. Many thanks to Anthony Zinskie for identifying this location correctly.
