PRR "World's Fastest Locomotive," E-7SA, 1949
Description:
Here is a postal card entitled "World'sßEastest Locomotive. Pennsylvania Railroad's No. 7002 ~ Record 127.1 Miles an Hour. Chicago Railroad Fair 1949.'" No Postmark. Caption On Reverse: "The world's fastest-run by a railroad train was made by the 'Broadway Limited' of the Pennsylvania Railroad on Monday, June 12,1905, when it ran 127.1 miles an hour between AY Tower and Elnda, Ohio. The 'Broadway Limited' was pulled by coal-burning steam Locomotive 7002 ~ and although many swift runs have been made in recent years by steam, electric, and diesel locomotives, none has equallef the 127.1 mile-an-hour record established in 1905. At the Chicago Railroad Fair of 1949, Locomotive 7002 stands on a section of P.R.R. standard roadbed with rails weiguing 155 pounds to the yard ~ heaviest in the world."
