PRR 2-6-0 #661

PRR 2-6-0 #661
A note on the back by photographer W.C. Hendricks states "Taken just before scrapping, 1947". Thanks to a comment by Robert Farkas, this locomotive appears to be one of 12 2-6-0 types built by Alco-Brooks (c/n 45855) in January 1909 (road numbers 651-662) built to 5' gauge for the Panama Railroad, a few of them lingered into the 1940's.

Alan Fricker	General	This is most likely from a predecessor road-I don't think the PRR had all that many 2-6-0s to begin with, and the number is too big (in size) for a normal PRR number.	11/3/2015 2:38:56 PM

Robert Farkas	General	The Panama Railroad had 2-6-0 locomotives lettered on the tender the very same way. Perhaps this is one of them as I believe they had a 661 which was a 2-6-0.	11/3/2015 8:31:22 PM
