Turbine. Here is a photo by an unidentified photographer that was taken near Crestline, Ohio, in June of 1950. Shown here is the front end of 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 barely eight years of experimental service. Love those "elephant ears"! |
