Big Boys and Turbine         
Big Boy 4008 (right) leads a train past 4013 and an unidentified Gas Turbine at the PFE ice racks. 4008 and 4013 only have two years left before they will make their final runs. Both will be scrapped in 1962 and 1963 respectively. The Turbine is either X59, a standard turbine, or X69, a veranda turbine. If anybody knows which one, please feel free to comment.
