The Pennsylvania Railroad purchased 130 of EMD's biggest-at-the-time SD45s for heavy hauling duty in the Alleghenies. Following the PC merger some were reassigned to lift trains over the Berkshires on the B&A, which had been exclusively four-axle territory in NYC days. Ex-PRR 6223 awaited its next assignment at the Beacon Park engine terminal in Boston.
