While searching for the Buffalo Southern I found a PRR steam locomotive numbered 4483 and with a 2-10-0 wheel arrangement parked at Hambrug NY on a track adjacent to a hobby shop, who has some back ground (type, history, reason why it is at Hamburg NY) on this one?

Thanks in advance

This PRR I-1 class Decapod sat for years in front of the Westinghouse
Air Brake Company ("WABCO") plant in Wilmerding, PA--adjacent
to the PRR main line a bit east of Pittsburgh. WABCO was induced
to donate it to whomever put the engine in Hamburg. It's about the
only former PRR steam locomotive not in Strasburg, where the entire
Northumberland, PA roundhouse collection went via PRR donation.

Thanks, that was just what I am looking for. And good luck to the team that is working on this sturdy lady.
