Pennsylvania Railroad class N1s locomotive 7246 under steam in Youngstown, Ohio in 1919.
Pennsylvania Railroad's N1s was a class of steam locomotive built for Lines West. They were of 2-10-2 "Santa Fe" wheel arrangement, ten driving wheels with a two-wheel leading truck and a two-wheel cast KW-pattern trailing truck under a giant firebox. This arrangement was well suited to the N1s' intended purpose, which was as a heavy drag freight engine for coal and iron ore traffic to and from Great Lakes ports. They were built in 1918 and 1919; 35 were built by ALCO-Brooks and 25 more were built by Baldwin.
