PRR E2b
Pennsylvania Railroad class E2b comprised six experimental B-B electric locomotives built for the railroad by General Electric. In 1952 the Pennsylvania Railroad took delivery of eight experimental locomotives, four from Westinghouse and four from General Electric. GE also built two demonstrators to show the Great Northern Railway. These two were sold to the PRR in March 1953 and numbered 4943–4944. The locomotives were scrapped in 1964.
