Pennsylvania Railroad 7002


A painting of an Atlantic 4-4-2 type steam locomotive, class E7s of the PRR. Originally number 8063, it was renumbered 7002 after the original, a notable high speed locomotive (believed to have been 70–80 miles per hour or 110–130 km/h), was scrapped. It was used during the 1980s on the Strasburg Railroad (museum) and is now in the RR Museum of Pennsylvania. (pic from scenicreflections.com)
