Wes Baris' steam list shows the following two PRR Decapods, but I was
almost certain that there is only one left.  I suspect that the two
listings are just one locotive with some confusion about numbers and
ownership, especially since the numbers are only one digit different
ond the owners are nearly the same.  The question is, which listing is
correct?

    4463      I-1  2-10-0     PRR          Western NY Chapter NRHS, Depew, NY
    4483    I-1sa  2-10-0     PRR          Western NY RY Hist Soc, Hamburg, NY

There appears to be some confusion on the last surviving I-1.
I'll set the record straight. The PRR I-1sa 4483 is located in Hamburg
NY. It is owned by the Western New York Railway Historical Society. This
society is not a NRHS chapter. The NRHS chapter in the area is the
Niagara Frontier Chapter of the NRHS of which I am a member. The
PRR I-1 is/was supposed to be cosmetically restored and to my knowledge
that is still the plan but there is no money for it. If anyone on the
list would like for information on the I-1sa or the society in general
I could post it to the list.
