This is an L1s, 2-8-2, in local or helper service. The original tender is the clue to 2369's assignment here. Now, wonder if she'll do a turn to Enola or, Mount Union...

Subject to the Godfather's discerning eye, I suggest this is a 2-8-2 L-1s. The clean road number, important for identifying trains in dark territory, is the giveaway here. Rather atypical for Pennsy steam, the M-1s were in a continuous number group from 6700 into the 6900s. Jerry Britton's Keystone Crossings site also lists the 2369 as an L-1s that was not scrapped until 1959. As ever, thanks for the wonderful classic views.

Out of Keystone plates? Nice catch John.
