PE 1590

Pacific Electric #1590 – a Baldwin-Westinghouse Class B(?) motor – in an undated photo. This is a dinky little machine which is apparently rated at 300 HP, and shockingly still survives; when the PE started to dieselize, they sold it to Ferrocarril Gen Urquiza, in Argentina, and eventually passed into the hands of Ferroclub Argentino, which has preserved it (and a couple of its compatriots.)
