PC: FB-2's and PC 4156

["Dale DeVene" <devene@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the information on the FB-1/2's.  I have since found a photo of 
the 3393, ex- New Haven 0465 from what I can find out, but that is the only 
one so far.

Can anyone shed some light on PC F-7B 4156?  I've seen a photo of it in 
super shiny paint.  It is equipped with a steam generator, but I'm not sure 
if it was ever used in passenger service.  Discovered it to be an ex-PRR 
unit.  Was this engine a back up passanger engine or they just never took 
off the steam generator exhuast?

Thanks!

Dale DeVene
