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. Bottom Photo Caption: "Photo above shows the engineer using the single control lever which when pushed forward controls the throttle for the forward (right side) turbine, and when pushed back not only feeds steam to the reverse turbine but puts it in gear." Shown here is PRR engine #6200, the S-2 (6-8-6) "Steam Turbine" built by Baldwin in September of 1944, rated at 6,900 horsepower, and retired in January of 1952 after eight years of experimental service. |
