The Pennsylvania Railroad's steam locomotive class D1 (formerly Class A, pre-1895) comprised thirteen 4-4-0Template:Whyte suffix locomotives for express passenger service, constructed at the railroad's own Altoona Works (now owned by Norfolk Southern) during 1868–1872.[1] They were the first standardized class of locomotives on the railroad and shared many parts with other standard classes.[2]
The PRR was the first American railroad to adopt the Westinghouse air brake, the first tests of which were made in September 1869; Class A locomotives were among those fitted with air brake equipment for those earliest tests.[3][4]
They remained in service until 1945, and were all withdrawn and scrapped by 1946.
