@Steam Crazy posted:MELGAR, I decided to Google "PRR Camelback". Here's the result from Steam Locomotive. com: "PRR built three 4-4-2 class E1 camelbacks in its Juniata Shops in 1899. These locomotives had wide fireboxes, but were not the patented Wootten type. The PRR did not build any additional camelbacks and sold these three to the LI RR in 1902 and 1903".

John,
You are correct. I was in error and corrected my post.
According to Steel Rails to the Sunrise - The Long Island Railroad by Ron Ziel and George H. Foster (1987), the PRR built three 4-4-2 Camelbacks in 1899, sold them to the Long Island Rail Road four years later, and they were the only Camelbacks ever used by the PRR. A picture of PRR 4-4-2 #820 with a three-axle tender appears in the book. By contrast, between 1903 and 1911, the LIRR operated 53 Camelback locomotives with four types of wheel arrangement including 4-4-0, 4-4-2, 4-6-0 and 2-8-0.
