This is a classic Baldwin 4-4-0 based on the Canada Atlantic RR, Class F locos.
It has been upgraded from Link 'n Pin Couplers to Knuckle Couplers and equipped
with Westinghouse Type 6ET Automatic Air Brakes. When the U.s. Railroads were
nationalized in 1917, some RRs (like the Pennsy) relettered some tenders "U. S. A."
Since Bill never mentioned a favorite prototype RR, I decided to letter the Tender
of #4611 that way.
