K4s on Freight Trains

Someone on the PRSL Historical Society asked whether PRR K4s ever ran in freight service.

Another member posted a photo from Don Ball's Pennsylvania RR book showing one in action in Maple Shade, NJ. It was led by the PRR's lone red Baldwin VO-1000.


I loved the photo so I tried to recreate it on my N scale layout. Atlas manufactured the red 5916 and it is a fine model. I used a no longer running Mini Trix K4 to complete the set-up. I couldn't find my MoPac hopper so I substituted a PRR H30 covered hopper.
