PRR 4-6-2 #2445 |
| Description: |
This 1917 K4s was an example of an Altoona Shops built Pacific, here in a gritty industrial setting. Note the tender is loaded with coal, ready for a long haul! Date is approximate. Thanks to Thomas Ayers (see comment below), the location is probably the PRR yard in West Philadelphia, PA. Thanks, Thomas, for you help in identifying the location! |
