Tourist Railways and Museums Featuring Operating Steam Locomotives
Pennsylvania
Altoona, Pennsylvania
Railroaders Memorial Museum is home to Pennsylvania Railroad 1361, one of only two (2) extant PRR
K4‐class Pacifics. Once plinthed at Horseshoe Curve, Pennsylvania, in 1985, this locomotive was removed
from static display and, in 1988, restored to operating condition. Plagued by various problems, PRR 1361
operated for only two years before being withdrawn from service.
On 25. June, 2021, Railroaders Memorial Museum announced a renewed effort to restore this
locomotive to service.
