Great shot Paul. But in this photo 8456 is not new! It was repainted. 8456 was built in 6-1952. with the Pennsylvainia name spelled out. this was taken in 1966. with the large PC. style number. Then 8456 was re-numbered to 5456. In 1967. The PRR. did this alot putting large PC stye numbers on there units in 1966. then renumbering for PC. in 1967.
