Pennsy was trying to help out it's long-time builder, Baldwin. Unfortunately Baldwin wasn't up to the job.

In an alt-universe where WWII didn't depricate the steam railroad manpower and maintenance infrastructure, the Baldwin/Lima/ALCO/ and even minor builders would've dominated. They failed the transition to diesel-electric not because railroads didn't want powerful locos or weren't willing to maintain them, but because the railroads actually couldn't!!! Something about having every man under 45 drafted and then everything being run (efficiently) literally into the ground by the ODT and wartime shortages. But ever steam machinist and maintainer left would be retired by 1965 -- and anyone else left with skill in repair or fabrication would be working in defense/aerospace for much more than the railroads could afford. I wrote a 50 page thesis on this once but really this 1 paragraph comment on YT about covers it X-)

The Centipedes had the same wheel arrangement as the Great Northern Ry. Class W-1 electric locomotives, which were graduates of General Electric's Erie Works in 1947. I'd bet a dollar to a donut that the W-1 and the Baldwin Centipedes have some connection, even though the Centipede's electrical parts came from PRR online customer Westinghouse. Fun Fact: The double-ended GN W-1 class (2 units) were the largest electric locomotives to ever operate in the U.S., and that includes the E60s used by Amtrak. They fit like wadding down a musket barrel in Cascade Tunnel.

@RMSTitanicWSL Ай бұрын

Three of NdeM's lasted until 1971. As much as I like them, it was a doomed design. Baldwin was trying to design diesel locomotives like steam locomotives, and it showed. EMC/EMD made the leap to offering just a couple of basic, mass-produced designs with a few basic options, and did the research to ensure they would be good designs, and this is why they beat out Alco and Baldwin.

The success of the GG-1 electric led PRR management to abandon its old policy of maximum weight on driven wheels for smoother-tracking locomotives with more wheels and lower driver axle weight, which is why the PRR chose the T and Q Duplexes instead of Northerns and Challengers, starting in 1942. Up through the M1a class of 4-8-2's in 1930, PRR's steam fleet maximized weight on the drivers, like the 102,000 pound tractive effort I1sa 2-10-0's of 1916. That's pretty amazing for an engine weighing just 386,000 pounds (without tender).

Pennsy was extremely conservative throughout it's history, but in the late '30's went a bit off the rails with it's new designs, possibly due to the east coast lines having been electrified.

Fascinating information! This was effectively a prototype for the British Class 40, not a place any railway authority should want to be. It had a low axle load due to its multiplicity of axles (2Co-Co2), but the loco power/weight ratio is dismal. The Class 40 was also found to be underpowered and had a rather lacklustre career unlike its cousin the Class 37 which is still at work today.

The grate area is the bottom surface of the firebox, ie the bit that actually has coal on it. 296 might be the total heating area of the box, which is all the other sides and top surfaces combined, where it's in contact with the boiler water and can heat it.
