Pennsylvania Railroad 1361 is a K4 class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built in May 1918 by the Pennsylvania Railroad's (PRR) Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania. It hauled mainline passenger trains in Pennsylvania and commuter trains in Central New Jersey on the PRR until its retirement from revenue service in 1956.
An axlebox, also known as a journal box in North America, is the mechanical subassembly on each end of the axles under a railway wagon, coach or locomotive; it contains bearings and thus transfers the wagon, coach or locomotive weight to the wheels and rails; the bearing design is typically oil-bathed plain bearings on older rolling stock, or roller bearings on newer rolling stock.

The Pennsylvania Railroad K4 was a class of 425 4-6-2 steam locomotives built between 1914 and 1928 for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), where they served as the primary mainline passenger steam locomotives on the entire PRR system until late 1957. Attempts were made to replace the K4s, including the K5 and the T1 duplex locomotive.
No. 1361 was replaced at the Curve by Pennsylvania Railroad 7048, a preserved GP9 Diesel-electric locomotive. [49] The locomotive was built by Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in December 1955 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later passed to Conrail. [50]
The Pennsylvania Railroad's class K5 were experimental 4-6-2 "Pacific" types, built in 1929 to see if a larger Pacific than the standard K4s was worthwhile. Two prototypes were built, #5698 at the PRR's own Altoona Works, and #5699 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Although classified identically, the two locomotives differed in many aspects, as ...
To reduce their propensity to slip, 6111 was experimentally fitted with 1/2 in steel lining of all four of its cylinders, reducing each bore (diameter) by a full inch. This reduced the tractive effort, from nearly 65,000 lbs to just over 58,000 lbs [ 22 ] . 6110 was similarly treated, as were 7 of the production T1's.
