PRR 6200, S-2, 1946 |
| Description: |
Turbine. Here is a duplicate 35mm color slide of a photo by Tom Harley that was taken in Englewood, Illinois, in November of 1946. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6200, the S-2 (6-8-6) "Steam Turbine" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during September of 1944, rated at 6,900 horsepower, and retired in January of 1952 after just eight years of revenue service. Note the "elephant ears" and the red-hot cinders under the firebox. No syncopating "chug-a-chug" . . . just a continuous, thunderous "wooosh"! (#5,185) |
