Former Great Western Railway (U.S.) 90, a Decapod 2-10-0 steam locomotive, is now located in Strasburg, PA operating on the Strasburg Rail Road. It originally pulled sugar beet trains about 40 to 50 cars long on the high plains near Loveland, Colorado. Built in 1924 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, this is the Strasburg Rail Road's youngest engine; it is also the most powerful of four steam locomotives in operation at the SRR. The other engines are: Norfolk & Western #475 4-8-0, Canadian National #89 2-6-0, and Canadian National #31 0-6-0.
