Pennsylvania Railroad 94
The 0-4-0 Switcher: A Compact Powerhouse
Class: A5s
Built: 1917 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Juniata Shops, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1956
Built to move railroad cars around, often assembling and disassembling trains, a switcher locomotive needed to be powerful, nimble, and compact. One of the heaviest 0-4-0’s ever built, No. 94 was capable of getting even hefty cars moving quickly – the result of the efficient 0-4-0 wheel arrangement that put all of the switcher’s weight on its drive wheels.
The tender paired here with No. 94 features the distinctive “slope-back” design, which allows for better visibility of the rear.
Fun Fact: Switchers have been described as the railroad version of the tugboat.
