1915 Reading Company
NO. 110 4-4-4
FOUR ENGINES of this type, the only ones of their kind on the
Reading, were built at the company's shops. They had front and
rear trucks very much alike, but being unstable were rebuilt in
1916 into Atlantics. They were renumbered 350 to 353 and reclassified
as P7sa. These were particularly powerful engines for their type
and were assigned to fast passenger service.
