Back in the '50’s, what did the B unit of the E6 A/B house?

jacon12,
Nice to see you back on the forum. Several of us wondered what you were up to ?
" B " units were " cabless " power units run behind " A " units for more power per train.
Sometimes for passenger service they would have electrical generators and boiler heat for the passenger cars in the consist. Thus you could adjust the power for longer trains and/or for mountain grades.
