In the 1920's the Pennsylvania Railroad experimented with a new streamlined look
on the venerable K-4 4-6-2 Pacific to accompany their passenger cars. While many
of the K-4's sported various versions of this new look, the "Torpedo"
was the only K-4 steamer to have the complete make-over.
The new design was meant to cut down on wind resistance, however the outer
covering proved to be difficult to maintain and was later removed from all K-4
locomotives. While the streamlining didn't last long, no one can deny the
beautiful look the sleek designs gave the old iron horses, especially when
pulling a matching passenger car consist.
