Can we build a NEW mainline steam locomotive in the United States? | Restoration Roundtable

Can a new mainline steam locomotive be built in the United States? The ‪@TheT1Trust‬ and steam railroading specialists at FMW Solutions and throughout the rail industry are answering that question one piece at a time. Join us for a detailed discussion on the steady recreation of a Pennsylvania Railroad T1 steam locomotive from our steam mechanic and engineering experts and learn about the challenges and rewards inherent in revisiting this iconic locomotive design.

Through hard work, dedicated volunteers, and the financial support of many generous donors from around the globe, the T1 Trust is constructing PRR T1 No. 5550. Slated to become the fifty-third locomotive of its class when complete, 5550 combines stunning art deco design with a unique 4-4-4-4 wheel arrangement. The production of PRR T1 5550 will fill a large gap in historical locomotive preservation. Perhaps more importantly, this locomotive will inject new life blood into an aging heritage fleet. Most US-built steam locomotives operating today are over 60 years old. Wear and tear are taking their toll. Efforts such as this one, to create a powerful new machine, will become increasingly important if steam excursion service is to be present in another 60 years. The PRR T1 represents the pinnacle of steam locomotive design in the United States. These locomotives could achieve speeds over 120 mph, and anecdotal reports indicate that speeds of up to 140 mph were attained. 52 class T1 locomotives were produced, 25 at the PRR’s Altoona shops and 27 at the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia. Sadly, no single example of this magnificent machine escaped the scrapper’s torch. #steamlocomotive #pennsylvaniarailroad #prr
