is displayed in a courtyard, quarter-roundhouse, and turntable on museum grounds. The former museum building, also located on the museum grounds, is used for storage. Alleged paranormal activity The museum began marketing the Master Mechanics Building as a haunted tourist attraction in 2003. Halloween tours that year centered on the museum's "real ghost stories." Ghost Hunters, an American paranormal and reality television series, filmed part of an episode inside the museum. The episode portrayed the haunting as fictional. After the episode aired in 2004, local ghost hunters wrote a book claiming that deceased railroad workers haunt the museum. Collection The museum's rolling stock includes Pennsylvania Railroad 1361, a K4 steam locomotive that stood on static display at the Horseshoe Curve from June 8, 1957, until September 1985. It was restored to operating condition but suffered an axle failure within a year. Since 2015, it has been under restoration at a roundhouse on the museum grounds. No. 1361 was replaced at the Curve by Pennsylvania Railroad 7048, a preserved GP9 Diesel-electric locomotive. The locomotive was built by Electro-Motive Division of General Motors in December 1955 for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later passed to Conrail. In 1985, Conrail repainted No. 7048 in its original Pennsylvania Railroad livery and donated it to the museum. A cosmetic restoration of 7048 was underway in late summer 2021.
