"So in 1923 Gen. William Wallace Atterbury, [PRR's] Vice President Operations, decided the time had come to acquire a special mountain-going passenger hauler that could, once and for all, reduce helper requirements, for he had lived through the years with triple-headed power ~ first with E-2 Atlantics, later with K-2sa light Pacifics, then with K-4s's."
