Hey, same year I was delivered. I remember these locomotives in pusher service about the same time as this photo, shoving westbounds out of Philadelphia along the Main Line. You could hear them for miles at night with their distinctive sound.

Great find!

Great historic shot John. I read that these huge Baldwins had several prime movers , but were not reliable.
I wish I had railfanned back then, as I was 20 in 1957.
Thanks for posting, and best egards.

At a time when many photographers refused to shoot diesels John recognized that they were interesting and there time deserved a record in posterity. Terrific stuff.
