PRR and Long Island Railroad G5's

The G5s Ten-Wheelers were built in 1923 at Juniata Shops to replace the Eight-Wheelers that were currently being used in suburban areas at that time. They were very similar to the E6s Atlantic, its only difference being an alteration in a running gear.
The G-5 was a high acceleration suburban passenger service loco.  

The G5s had 24" x 28" cylinders, 68" drivers, used 205 pounds of pressure, weighed 237,000 pounds, and could a haul a load weighing up to 41,328 pounds.

By 1929, class G5s was the chief one and only 4-6-0 representative. G5s turned out to be the heaviest and most powerful 4-6-0 class ever built. Ninety more of these locomotives were produced in Juniata between the years of 1923 and 1925, for use on Pennsylvania Railroad lines. The first G5 to be manufactured at the Juniata Shops was number 987, plate No. 3769. These engines were built with superheaters and power reverse gear and were hand fired, but never had stokers or feedwater heaters installed.

An unusual trait of this class was pilot-mounted air resevoir tanks. Some engines had this feature, while others did not. Tenders utilized by this locomotive could carry 8,300 gallons of water and sixteen tons of coal.
