Pennsylvania Railroad 4483 is a single preserved locomotive of the railroad's I1s class of 2-10-0 steam freight engines. It was built in May 1923, converted to the stronger I1sa form in February 1931, and worked drag freight and coal trains in the eastern and northern parts of the system until its retirement on 7 August 1957. In 1963 the Westinghouse Air Brake Company bought it to display at its headquarters in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania, and in 1982 it passed to the Western New York Railway Historical Society, which moved it to Hamburg, New York, where it now sits. The society hopes to place it on public display in Buffalo.
