PRR 2-10-4 #6440 - Pennsylvania RR
Description:
This is a much later (circa 1960's or so) reprint of an Altoona built Pennsylvania 2-10-4 taken around the mid-1950's.With Alan Fricker's help, it probably was in the Altoona scrap line around 1956 or so. Unfortunately no information was supplied with this photo and the number of the loco is unreadable. Glen James eagle eye was able to read the numberboard as #6440. Thanks to all!
