Jonathan's consist recommendation for a 2-8-0 headed passenger run was an excellent one. The PRR used 2-8-0's on a Tyrone and Clearfield branch daily 2 car local up to WWII. The train typically was made up with a BM70 RPO and a P70 coach. Though my railroad is circa 1952, I run such a consist as it adds interest to operations and contrasts with the blue ribbon fleet passenger trains passing through Tyrone on the Middle Division.
With regard to PRR's inductive Trainphone System see Wikipedia for a little more info. The PRR did not extend the system network wide and steam locomotives and cabin cars assigned to lines west of Pittsburg generally were not equipped with Trainphone antenna gear (cases in point N1, N2, Q1, Q2, S1, S2 locomotives). In the post WWII era as diesels came into service traditional steam locomotive assignments were altered so at times Trainphone equipped steam ran west and some non-Trainphone steam moved east. Historical PRR locomotive and cabin car assignment documents can be found on the internet that identify whether or not a specific locomotive or cabin car is Trainphone equipped. I don't recall seeing an H class locomotive listed with the TP notation - if one did it would likely have been for a special assignment like work train service??
