The PRR 7002 pauses to prepare to switch from the old Northern Central onto the Frederick Branch to connect to the Western Maryland, on its way to overnight in Hanover for the next day's commemorative trip to Gettysburg on the occasion of the 125th Anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Historian Frederick Westing wrote in his book "Pennsy Steam and Semaphores" that he thought that the PRR light Atlantics were the best looking engines of their type in this country, "...thanks to Theodore N. Ely, with his artistic flair, and Axel S. Vogt, who wrought locomotive details into efficient, yet graceful form." The 7002 was built by the Juniata Shops in August 1902 as No. 8063, a Class E2a, and was rebuilt with slightly larger diameter cylinders in 1916 as PRR Type E7s, and was chosen to stand in for original speedster 7002 (scrapped in 1935) for the 1939 New York World's Fair. It was restored and test run by the Strasburg on July 28, 1983, and last ran on December 20, 1989. It is now displayed inside the RR Museum of PA in Strasburg.
