PRR 4-6-2 #1546
Description:
On the right in the photo is PRR 4-6-2 Pacific #1546 built by the PRR Juniata Shops in May of 1912, one of the famous K-4s class members. The loco served for over 39 years before being scrapped in November of 1951. The loco on the left is difficult to read its number - something like 5232 or 5982. No location, date, or photographer was listed for this photo unfortunately. Thanks to Tom Beckett and especially Robert Hess (see comments below) for the interesting info on these and identifying the locaiton. Thanks to both of you!

PRR no. 1737 plate
Description:
This is one of the builders plates from the prototype K4s pacific no. 1737. In the 1950s, 3750 was renumbered to 1737 because the original 1737 had deteriorated so much that it would be impossible to preserve. The original 1737 was scrapped and 3750 took its place wearing its numberboards and builders plates.
