Trivia[]

  • The reason why 8063 was renumbered to 7002 was because 7002 supposedly went 127.1 mph (204.5 km/h) in 1902, but the engine was scrapped in 1935 and the 1939 New York World's Fair wasn’t so far away, so the PRR decided to renumered 8063 to 7002 and this time the Pennsylvania didnt scrapped 8063 so it still remains as 7002.
