ALCO Fan posted:While I'm sure there are many locos worthy of preservation, the AEM-7 is not as strange an addition as it would appear. That engine was the main loco on the electrified Keystone Corridor from Philadelphia to Harrisburg for many years. And IIRC to engine was donated to the museum by Amtrak.
So hopefully the Museum will continue to make progress on its other projects even if at a slower pace than we all would wish.

Yep - while there's the splendid collection of PRR equipment to be found at the museum, the museum notes the following:
"While the Museum is known as the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, it is not the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum. It celebrates all railroads and railroad-related industries that contributed to the history of the Commonwealth. The collection has grown impressively and includes locomotives and rolling stock from at least 18 different Pennsylvania railroads and 22 different builders overall."

I'm a Pennsy fan, and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the PRR equipment there. I also enjoyed seeing all the other goodies gathered from the other railroads in Pennsylvania - hopefully some work can be done to get everything under cover to limit any further deterioration.
