| Title: |
PRR 460, engineer's side |
| Description: |
Nicknamed "The Lindbergh Engine" for pulling a special Washington, D.C.-New York City charter train carrying newsreel footage of Charles Lindbergh's return to the United States following his famous 1927 New York-Paris solo flight. A rival newsreel company sent their footage via aircraft, which arrived in New York first, but the film brought by train "won" by getting into theaters first because it was able to be processed on board the train. |

PRR 7002 |
| Description: |
1902 E7s class Atlantic, orginally PRR 8063, renumbered to represent the original 7002 which was scrapped in 1935 despite claiming a speed record of 127.1 MPH in June, 1902, 36 years before Mallard's official record 126 MPH was set in the UK. Like the 1223, this operated in preservation at the nearby Strasburg Rail Road until 1989. |
