OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. PRR 460, nicknamed the Lindbergh Engine , is a Pennsylvania Railroad E6s steam locomotive now located in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania in the United States. It was built in 1914 and became famous after racing an aircraft to New York City carrying newsreels of Charles Lindbergh's return to the United States after his transatlantic flight in 1927. In the late 1930s, No. 460 was operated by the Long Island Rail Road, and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines in the early 1950s, before being retired in 1953. No. 460 is the only surviving locomotive of its class and was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Since mid-2010, 460 has been undergoing restoration at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
