Hello Spyder and welcome to the Railway Forum. Sorry but I'm not up on locos from thr USA.

Welcome to the Forum Spyder. Don't know a lot about USA steam, sorry.

Best wishes,

It looks like an American Consolidation 2-8-0 from early last century. They were widely used on freight and heavy passenger trains. The majority of Consolidations were built by Baldwins.

Certainly looks like a Baldwin product to me.

Ok cool! The back of picture it says 1906. So it possibly is a freight engine. Hence why i cant find in passenger. I was hoping it was pennsylvania rail road. Is that a possibility?

Thanks for all of the responses

Welcome to the forum, Spyder.

Hi Spyder,
type "Baldwin Consoldation Locomotives" into Google and you will find all the information you could require. There is one page which lists all the railroads that they worked on. Over 27,000 were built! (There wern't that many Dakotas).
