Pennsylvania Railroad No. 4483 is a class I1sa 2-10-0 steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, PA, in 1923, converted to an I1sa in 1931 and then assigned to the Pennsy's Eastern Region, Susquehanna Division and Northern Region.
The locomotive operated on the Pennsylvania Railroad for many years until it was retired in 1957 and became part of the Pennsy's historic locomotive collection stored at Northumberland, PA, most of which later went to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA.
In 1963, the Pennsy railroad sold #4483 to the Westinghouse Air Brake Company to display on the front lawn of their headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.
Today #4483 is stored at the Western New York Railroad Historical Society's work site in Hamburg, NY.
