Photo Caption: "In its acquisition of other railroad companies, the Pennsylvania has built up a hash assortment of motive power, of which No. 6536 is an example. This Atlantic was originally built for the New York, Philadelphia, & Norfolk ~ which the PRR leased in the early 1920's. She is shown at Ocean City in 1940."
