| Remarks & Notes |
| PRR 643 cleans the flues as she climbs the grade at the very end of her track on "Steam Engine Hill". While the 643 was built in 1901, her boiler was replaced in the 1940s and is in good shape. Note that she wears no boiler jacketing. The shed in which she is stored does not have climate controls and boiler insulation has a tendency to trap moisture, accelerating the oxidation of the steel surfaces. |
