Steam & Excursion > A New K2

John S. Powell photographed 6621 at Narberth in 1910, the same year it was built. As noted in previous comments, the PRR numbering system held surprises throughout, but the K2's stretched from the lowest numbered at 23 all the way to 9999 with a large group in the high 3300's.

That must have been quite an experience having that train pass so close to the photographer!

That is all nice, but I was looking at the rail size. PRR did their own thing with rail. This might be 85 PRR  or maybe 100 PRR, but it looks lighter than 100#. I can't find they used a 90#.
Six bolt joint bars, plenty of solid stone ballast.

Looks like it's crossing the stone arch bridge over Wynnewood Road.
