The PRR class D14 was a 4-4-0 steam locomotive built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.[2] They were originally designated class P in the PRR's pre-1895 classification scheme. Twenty-two locomotives were built at the PRR's Altoona Works (now owned by Norfolk Southern); six in 1893 with 780NaN0 driving wheels, and sixteen in 1894 with 800NaN0 drivers, classified D14a.[3] Later, all sixteen class D14a were rebuilt to class D14b with 680NaN0 drivers for secondary service after they were replaced in top-flight express service, while three of the six class D14 were similarly rebuilt to class D14c.

Withdrawal

All were withdrawn and scrapped between 1905 and 1955.
