Information on tuscan brown k4 pacific?

I know a lot about the PRR and their engines and I know they made at least one tuscan red k4. The most that I heard they made was 4.

Here is one of the stories I have heard about the the tuscan k4:

· The PRR made the K4 for the Inauguration of The Red Arrow, a passenger train going from New York to Detroit, (part of the PRR Blue Ribbon Fleet). One of the reasons making only one tuscan k4 does not make sense would be that every so often they would switch engines on their way to their destination (in this case Detroit) and what would be the sense of running a train with a tuscan k4 for only 1/4 or 1/2 of a trip.

I also heard that the Tuscan K4 only lasted for about a year.

Also in 1936 the streamlined K4 was first painted a reddish bronze color before they changed it to the Brunswick green

How is Venice Italy different from New Orleans?

Venice is above sea level, built above a shallow body of water. New Orleans was built on dry land made by draining the swamps around a small area of higher ground. New Orleans is almost entirely below sea level.

The small islands of Venice Italy were mostly above mean sea level at high tide. As a defense measure, rivers were diverted through the lagoon to keep it free of sediment. To construct the city, foundations were built in the shallow lagoon between the islands. However, Venice is still susceptible to flooding by high tides in the Adriatic Sea.
