2024年12月25日 · PRR 4464, E-44, c. 1967 : Description: Electrics. Here is a photo that was taken near Chase, Maryland, c. 1967. Shown here (L to R) are Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4464 and another "Brick" whose road number is not recorded. Both are E-44 (C-C) electrics built by General Electric and rated at 4,400 horsepower each.

The Pennsylvania Railroad 's class Q2 comprised one prototype and twenty-five production duplex steam locomotives of 4-4-6-4 wheel arrangement built between 1944 and 1945. [1][3][4][2]

Here is a photo of Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4464, an I-1SA (2-10-0) "Decapod" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works as an I-1S during May of 1923, rebuilt in Juniata as an I-1SA in September of 1944, and retired in July of 1951 after 28 years of faithful service.

A 4-4-6-4, in the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, is one that has four leading wheels followed by four coupled driving wheels, a second set of six coupled driving wheels and four trailing wheels. The Pennsylvania Railroad 's Q2 class were the only locomotives ever to use this arrangement.

I know the Amtrak 502 was the 4465 which is now restored to PRR paint at Strasburg Also the 501 was the ex PRR 4464. I know for sure from photographs that at least 4 units were painted in full Amtrak paint.

Thankfully, one unit, AMTK 502, was turned over to the PHMC on April 27, 1991, and is on display (as PRR 4465) at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. PRR 4465 was the last electric locomotive built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

2020年4月20日 · A Q2 was the most powerful locomotive ever tested on the PRR's stationary locomotive testing plant (basically a locomotive Dyno) at over 8000 horsepower. In the end it would probably have been smarter to make a 4-10-4, though.
