This is a Fan Made Music Video supporting the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museums efforts to rebuild PRR 1361 to operating status.
I have no affiliation with this project I just enjoy and want to raise awareness for it.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In the heart of the Keystone State,
Lived a mighty iron horse.
Built in Juniata's shops, where dreams were born,

The P-R-R K4, numbered Thirteen Sixty-One.
With wheels that turned through valleys deep,
And hills that echoed its mighty leap.
It served the Pennsy line with pride,
A legend on the rails.

(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.

(Verse 2)
In 1918, this giant came to life,
A symbol of strength in times of strife.
Through wars and peace, it forged ahead,
On steel tracks where dreams are made.

From Altoona’s yards to Pittsburgh’s mills,
Its presence was strong, its power real.
A marvel of its time, a sight to see,
The P-R-R K4, in its glory.

(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.

(Bridge) (sad but hopeful)
Years rolled by, and time stood still,
For this iron horse up on that hill.
Rust and decay began to claim, as modern engines roll along its former right of way.
But the dreamers and the workers, with hearts so pure,
Saw the value in the past and a future secure.
With hands that toiled and minds that knew,
They will bring back a spirit that once flew.

(Verse 3)
Through the Allegheny Mountains
A silhouette of power against the sky.
With steam, fire, and a whistle’s cry,
The spirit of Americas railroads will never die.
The restoration began with a spark of hope,
As volunteers and donors helped it cope.
Piece by piece, they will bring it back,

(Chorus)
Roll on, Thirteen Sixty-One, through the valleys and the plains,
From the steel mills to the cities
Saved from decay
The pride of Pennsylvania, the Thirteen Sixty-One.

(Verse 4)
Imagine the future when this engine runs,
Beneath the moon and the morning suns.
Through towns and fields, on ribbons of steel,

With magic of the past you can feel.
Please help make this dream come true,
To keep history’s spirit alive.
Donations and care, every penny counts,
To ensure this legacy surmounts.

(outro)
Join us in this quest, be a part of the tale,
Help us in restoring this iron horse to the rails.
Let’s bring back the Thirteen Sixty-One with pride,
And keep it with us for a long time.
