Although the original intention was that they work passenger trains, the success of the GG1 meant that the P5 class were mostly used on freight. A single survivor, prototype #4700, is at the Museum of Transportation in St Louis, Missouri. The first P5s were built with box cabs. A grade crossing accident in which the crew were killed led to the substitution of a streamlined steeple type cab in later production, a design which was also applied to the GG1. Orders were placed for 90 production locomotives classified P5a due to minor changes from the prototypes. Production was split between General Electric and Westinghouse. The GE examples were assembled at GEs Erie, Pennsylvania facility, still a locomotive assembly plant today--while final assembly for the Westinghouse order was subcontracted to the Baldwin Locomotive Works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndustry-Leading Features:\u003cbr\u003eParagon3 Sound and Operation System FEATURING ROLLING THUNDER with Authentic Sounds and Prototypical Operation in both DC and DCC environments\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive Composition: Die Cast body with Die Cast Chassis\u003cbr\u003eCouplers: (2) Operating Kadee or Compatible\u003cbr\u003eCompatible Tracks: Code 70, 83, 100 Rail\u003cbr\u003eMinimum Operating Radius: 18\" or greater","brand":"Broadway Limited Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130059722834,"sku":"BLI-5931","price":365.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/3410\/2098\/files\/BLIHOSCALEPARAGON3PRRP5awithRollingThunderTM1of35.1_dec5281c-af46-4c37-bb65-eb4714ac982e__45709.png?v=1756148498","url":"https:\/\/modeltrainstuff.com\/products\/broadway-limited-imports-ho-5931-p5a-boxcab-pennsylvania-railroad-4744","provider":"Model Train Stuff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
