Friends of the 6755 is a railroad preservation group dedicated to purchasing, leasing, or partnering with the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania to restore and operate PRR 4-8-2 mountain, 6755.  

   6755 currently sits in a state of disrepair at the Railroad museum of Pennsylvania in Ronks, PA.  Things need to change,  as the largest surviving Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive it deserves better treatment.  Friends of the 6755 would restore the locomotive to operating condition and use it as a traveling locomotive doing tours all around the North-East United States.  

   This would be beneficial to everyone because a very historic steam locomotive would be operating again.  Now is more of an important time to act than ever.  The 6755 in desperate need of a restoration,  although the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania does have plans to cosmetically restore the 6755 we believe a restoration to operation would be more beneficial to everyone and would better reflect the locomotives history.  

 
   

   I'm writing this because this is something I care about deeply and it won't happen without the support of people like you. Starting a petition isn't something I would normally do, but I was moved to do so because I have a love for PRR steam and especially the 6775.  As the largest surviving Pennsy locomotive it deserves to be restored and operated. I know I'm not alone and together we can 

   A brief history on the 6755:  
Pennsylvania Railroad 6755 is a 4-8-2 "Mountain" type steam locomotive built in 1930 for the Pennsylvania Railroad by the railroad's own Altoona Works as a member of the M1b locomotive class for mainline freight service. Retired from commercial service in 1957, the locomotive was preserved by the Pennsylvania Railroad and was placed on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. The 6755 is the only M1 class locomotive to have survived into preservation, and the largest preserved Pennsylvania locomotive
