The H-9 was first built in 1913 by Baldwin Locomotive Works and, along with H-10, represented the final and largest phase of the Consolidation development. Some interesting characteristics of the H-9 are that it had 62-inch drivers, and it utilized 205 pounds of boiler pressure.

PRR H-9 Consolidation
Between the years of 1907 and 1916 the companies of Alco, Baldwin, Juniata Shops, and Lima together constructed a total of 1,206 engines, some of which were H-9s. Some of the jobs which the H-9 performed included hump trimmer at Enola Yards, transfer engine for the heavier passenger cuts between Penn Coach Yards and Old Broad Street Station in Philadelphia, hauling the Paoli local freight, and wire maintenance train hauler anywhere east of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (after electrification). These trains even went to sea, via carfloats that transported them across the mouth of the Chespeake Bay from Cape Charles to Little Creek, for use on Pennsylvania's Virginia mainland orphan beach head.
In June of 1945, an interesting development in the Class 2-8-0 system was implemented. H-9 and H-10 engines exchanged numbers. This was the beginning of the re-numbering and re-assigning of trains that occurred throughout the years.
