The Pennsylvania Railroad’s class FF1 was an American electric locomotive a prototype numbered #3931 and nicknamed Big Liz. It was built in 1917 to haul freight trains across the Allegheny Mountains where the PRR planned to electrify. Big Liz proved workable but too powerful for the freight cars of the time with its 4600 available horsepower and astonishing 140000 pounds of tractive effort.
