You see GG-1s racing each other at one point as well as a plethora of steam locomotives.

Notice the steam locomotive on display at the Horseshoe Curve instead of the PRR GP-9.

PRR 1361. It was there from 1956 until 1985. It is, apparently, in pieces, scattered around several facilities...

Oh, thanks. Sad that it's in pieces like that. Maybe someone can put it back together someday.
