PENNSYLVANIA #6479 2-10-4 LEGACY
 |
| This version of the 2-10-4 owes its design to the pooled efforts of the C&O, NKP, Erie and Pere Marquette railroads, which formed a group named the Advisory Mechanical Committee. This group's assignment was to design locomotives that best met the C&O's requirement to handle high tonnage. They developed a locomotive that could handle 160-car, 13,500-ton consists virtually single handedly! In 1942, the Pennsylvania Railroad, under increasing wartime pressure, desperately required new locomotive power to meet the nation's u rgent needs. With government restrictions barring the design of new locomotives, the Pennsylvania Railroad went searching for an existing locomotive that met its requirements. PRR borrowed a C&O 2-10-4, put it to the test, and by December, the PRR's Altoona Shops had begun production of 125 of these landmark locomotives.
