Armco B-73 (1)         
On display at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Arden, Washington County, PA. An oil/electric 78 ton locomotive built in 1930 as a joint effort by Baldwin and Westinghouse. Started service at the USS Cuyahoga Works and was there until 1942 when it was bought by ARMCO Steel. The original motor was replaced with a 400HP Hamilton in 1947. It now weighs 67.5 tons. Donated to the museum in 1970 when the locomotive was rendered obsolete by newer and larger diesels. This remains in operating condition and is used to move around the standard gauge rolling stock owned by the museum.
