Pennsylvania R.R.

“The Standard Railroad of the World”
D6/D6a   4-4-0

Engine #10 as built (1881)

As the competition for high-speed intercity rail service began to heat up in the last quarter of the 19^th Century, the Pennsylvania Railroad developed a new series of ultra-modern passenger locomotives.  Originally classified as type “K”, the new anthracite-coal-burning engines boasted tall 78” drivers, steam-powered reversing gear and a Westinghouse brake system.  To save time, their tenders were equipped with water scoops, allowing them to refill their tanks while on the move.  The locomotive’s sleek new profile eliminated the protruding sand dome, excessive “gingerbread” decoration and boasted an elegant black and gold decoration scheme.  Pulling the PRR’s newest coaches, series PD, between New York and Philadelphia, the D6 maintained a scheduled time requiring a speed of almost 50 mph, including stops over the 90 mile route!
