PRR DR-4-4-1500 9570
Description:
PRR DR-4-4-1500 9570 across from EMD at La Grange, Illinois on November 15, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 73701), one of 34 DR-4-4-1500 "Sharknose" A units numbered in the 9568A - 9593A and 9700A - 9707A number series. Previous to the PRR order, Baldwin's DR-4-4-1500 was delivered in the "baby face" carbody style. The PRR's initial order of 26 A-units and 26 B-units were delivered in 1949, and a follow-up order for eight A-B sets was placed in 1949 for 1950 delivery. These last eight units introduced yet another refinement; the cab was moved one foot forward, with a corresponding reduction in the length of the nose. Number 9570 is seen here on its last mile, on the Pielet Brothers setout track across the IHB main from EMD's plant in La Grange.

"Horseshoe Curve," Page 6, 2006
Description:
Here is a photo by Gary R. Zuters. It was included in a 24-page booklet entitled "World Famous Horseshoe Curve" that was published in 2006 by The Railroad Press, page 6. Partial Caption: "The Baldwin Locomotive Works of Eddystone, Pennsylvania, called them RF-15's, but the rest of the world called them 'Sharknoses' for obvious reasons. Here, a perfectly matched set of A-B-A sharks led by class unit #9700 is thundering uphill with a freight in April 1959." Shown here (L to R) are PRR engines #9700 and two more "BF" Class units whose numbers are not recorded. All were built by Baldwin. #9700 is a BF-15A built in April of 1950, rated at 1,500 horsepower, and retired in February of 1965 after just 15 years of revenue service.
