RFP 4-8-4 #554, "General A.P Hill" - Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR  Contributor's Pick!       
Here is another example of a 1936 Baldwin built 4-8-4 "General" class (RFP refused to call them "Northerns" possibly because the southern influence was still strong in 1936!). This one bore the name "General A.P. Hill", another of Virginia's esteemed Civil War Generals. Specifics - 77" drivers, 275 psi boiler pressure, 27x30" cylinders, 466,040 lb engine weight, 66,391 lb tractive effort.
