Radio telephone antennae

[Inkaneer]

When did the pennsy do away with the radiotelephone antennae on locomotives? What was the first engines that did not employ them? Thanks.

I have no exact dates or written info about the disuse of phone equipment. But I have pictures of a new GP30 in 1963 which came equiped with phone aerials. Pictures of GP35's in 1964 had none. Other engines after, to the end 1968, had no phone aerials.
