Info on the engine as well as donation info.
Wish I could've found the local news story on this, but it wasn't on the wgal site.

that thing does have a rather large boiler. read the story behind it on the website, cool locomotive.

The boiler doesn't look that large to me. But thy cylinders seem set high, then again 80" drivers are huge.

its pretty big for a 4 driver locomotive.

Good Point.

4-4-2 is a small arrangement, old too.

How many of that arrangement would have been built after this lot?

Mike your pics are amazing. If I ever get the chance to sit down all day, I'll have to go through your albums.

4-4-2s were built for speed, hence the size. The boiler on it may be interchangable with another class of locomotive. For example, the K4, G5, and L1 all share the same boiler.

Right now we have a PRR ND caboose and the Reading Crusader Obs in the shop.
