Phila PRRTHS - Enginehouses & Symbols

The table / list below includes all symbols used after 1930. It is reasonable to believe this list may not be complete. The reason for this is because the PRR did not adopt symbols until the late 1920's, and did not adopt them in the Western Region until the mid-1930's.

There were many other enginehouses all over the PRR, and not just small ones, either, for which no symbols were ever discovered, apparently because monthly boiler inspection and washing were not performed.
