It is a TR6 based on the SW8.

Yep, you got it.

 

[wilh]

Who built this, for what railroad, what is the classification, what is it's nickname, when was it built and what did it do when it was pulling trains and when it was pushing trains and why?

 

[SPNGTyler]

Built by the PRR (unless you count equipment built by westinghouse)
Of course for the Pensy
FF1
Big Liz
1917

When pulling trains, becouse she was so powerfull, she would snap the couplers on cars. Putting her on the back did no better becouse her force was so great it could literaly smash cars to pieces.

I love this engine. The fact how it has pilot wheels and drivers almost exactly like a steam engine, excluding the cylinders of course, is pretty cool.

 

[wilh]

SPNGTyler is correct. Please post a new pic in two days please.

 

[drrt4]

ehhh, no. Sorry. I have modified my post. I had forgotten, and now rechecked, the # of railroads.

Plus, the modification part is wrong.

Sorry if that sounded kinda rude.

 

[drrt4]

Well any more guesses? I'm totally stumped. But it seams like i always am.:hehe: DR:wave:

 

[SPNGTyler]

I cant belive no one knows this. Ill give yall a hint so we can speed this along.

Although not as famous as the D&S or the C&TS, this railroad is literaly right down the tracks from the C&TS, and even has a train that runs to the C&TS.

That should help a little for what railroad. If you find that, you are 80% likley to find the steamer.
