It is one of the Pennsylvania Railroad rolling stock resources nominated under a multiple property cover sheet.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the locomotive is significant as the only known surviving example of the E6s class and type, and as one of the fastest E6s engines built. Its notable run on June 11, 1927, carrying newsreel film from Washington to New York after Charles Lindbergh's Atlantic flight, is cited as a key historical event. The class also served the main line limited trains on the eastern seaboard.","narrative":"Built in 1914 by the Pennsylvania Railroad's Juniata Shops, the E6s Atlantic-type locomotive was designed for express passenger service on the nearly level eastern seaboard lines east of Altoona. Its class was first tested in 1910 and was later used on main line limited trains running between Jersey City, Manhattan Transfer and Washington, with some service westward to Harrisburg and Altoona. Engine No. 460 is described as one of the fastest E6s locomotives built. On June 11, 1927, it hauled a special train carrying newsreel film from Washington's Union Station to New York, covering the 223 miles in 3 hours and 8 minutes, a run made to deliver footage of Charles Lindbergh's honors after his transatlantic flight. The nomination states it is the only known surviving example of its class and type, which is why it was selected for listing among the Pennsylvania Railroad's rolling stock.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:34.138263-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002274.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002274/b4534d3dc8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002274/b4534d3dc8-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RRMOP_460.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RRMOP_460.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993167","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad_460","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7120449"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/passenger-locomotive-no-460-79002274/"}
