Here is a photo taken by Mr. C.H. Brady. It was published originally in the August 1945 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 5. Partial Caption: "The Pennsylvania's direct-drive steam turbine locomotive is now in regular service between Chicago and Crestline, O., going east each day on the 'Trail Blazer' and west on the 'Admiral.'" 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. |
