Earlier this month, the Rocket train, the oldest surviving Reading Railroad locomotive, was transported to its new home, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

Visitors at the upcoming exhibit will still be able to climb aboard and marvel over the museum’s more iconic — and larger — Baldwin 60000 steam locomotive. The Baldwin will remain dramatically displayed on a cutaway floor above the gallery. Sadly, space had to be made for the new collection, said Abby Bysshe, the museum’s chief experience and strategy officer.
One of eight early English-made locomotives purchased by the Philadelphia & Reading Railway, the Rocket had long been on the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s wish list, said its executive director Patrick Morrison.
