Description
Railroad Short Name: PRR
Handling the Blue Ribbon Fleet, Pennsy’s 74 E8A units began arriving in 1949 and provided outstanding power and performance for years. Most trains ran with an A-A set, but when more power was needed to handle longer trains during peak demand, an E7B was assigned to that day’s run.
Like their prototypes, Walthers Broadway Limited E8As include Train Phone antenna, an improved air horn replica, nose lift rings and much more.
