Providence, RIPC 9945 ex-NH RS-1 at Charles St. engine house. Originally built in 1948 for branch line passenger service, but it's 1000 HP was not sufficient and then was relegated to local freight and yard service. Seen here with water tank and steam heat lines removed and I assume steam generator also.
