Prr14b-pre

The Pennsylvania Railroad's steam locomotive class D1 (formerly Class A, pre-1895) were a series of 4-4-0 locomotives for express passenger service, constructed at the railroad's own Altoona Works (now owned by Norfolk Southern) during 1868–1872 for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The PRR was the first American railroad to adopt the Westinghouse air brake, the first tests of which were made in September 1869; Class A locomotives were among those fitted with air brake equipment for those earliest tests.

They remained in service until 1945, and were all withdrawn and scrapped by 1946.
