PRR E2b

PRR E2b

Pennsylvania Railroad class E2b comprised six experimental B-B electric locomotives built for the railroad by General Electric. They were commonly used in three pairs. Like most previous PRR electric locomotives, they were straight AC-powered, and did not use rectifiers. Because of this, they could work in multiple with existing PRR locomotives, and generally did so with class P5a.
