PRR 4-4-4-4 #6110 |
Description: |
One of the first two experimental models for the T-1 line, the Raymond Lowey designed looks strange but sleek and shark-like. According to Steamlocomotive.com "The theory behind the duplex drive held that reducing the masses of reciprocating (e.g., main and side rods) and revolving (e.g., cranks and counterweights) would reduce hammering and raise speed. Tests run at a high boiler pressure and late cut-off showed 6,110 drawbar horsepower at 85 mph. In service, these engines could be fast, powerful, and smooth, pulling 910-ton passenger trains at 100 mph.' Unfortunately, there were several issues that caused the premature scrapping in the 1950's of these duplex models. Roger D. Kruger photo |
