The Pennsylvania Railroad’s class L6 comprised three electric locomotives of 2-8-2 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation. The intention was to build a whole class of freight boxcab locomotives using this design but the displacement of class P5a to freight work after the introduction of the GG1 meant that there was little need for more electric freight locomotives.Two L6 class locomotives were built at Altoona Works as prototypes in 1932.
