| Here is page two of a two-page camera study entitled "Pennsylvania's Turbine Engine." It was published originally in the January 1945 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 15. Shown here is PRR 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. Notable here is a table showing the S-2's tractive effort at speeds from zero to 100 miles per hour. |
