A blast from the past! See if you can identify when and/or where this photo was taken and if you know what is pictured.

(Sorry about the quality. I scanned it out of an old picture album and couldn't actually remove the picture itself).

Well, it's a PRR engine and the wardrobe screams late 80's.

I believe that is a K4 Pacific. I think only one was preserved at Altoona at the Horshoe Curve. So, is this Altoona.

Picture looks late 70s early 80s (curved corners) summer, and what appears to be a steaming K4.

Well, we now know it is K4 1361 and the year was 1988. Also, it was taken in PA. Does that help at all?

Does everyone give up already with this one? Here are the clues:

1. K4s 1361
2. Late 1980's
3. In Pennsylvania
4. Not Altoona, Juniata, Horseshoe Curve, or Allentown
5. 150th Anniversary celebration of a Rail Line.

I apologize in advance for necroposting, but I just stumbled upon this old guess the location thread I started and I figured it's about time I gave the answer. This is the PRR K4 1361 at the corner of W. Philadelphia St and N. Pershing Ave in York, PA. This was a special excursion for the 150th anniversary of the Northern Central Railway in the 1980's.
