Baldwin Locomotive S-2 Steam Locomotive Ringer T-Shirt

Baldwin Locomotive S-2 Steam Locomotive Ringer T-Shirt

From www.railphotexpress.biz Baldwin Serves The Nation Which The Railroads Helped To Build. Baldwin Locomotive Works Pennsylvania Railroad S-2 Steam Turbine Locomotive In the waning years of steam, the Baldwin Locomotive Works undertook several attempts at alternative technologies to diesel power. In 1944, Baldwin built the sole example of the S2 class, c/n 70900, for the Pennsylvania Railroad, delivering it in September 1944. It was the largest direct-drive steam turbine locomotive in the world and had a 6-8-6 wheel arrangement. It was originally designed as a 4-8-4, but due to shortages of lightweight materials during World War II, the S2 required additional leading and trailing wheels. Numbered 6200 on the PRR roster, the S2 had a maximum power output of 6,900 HP and was capable of speeds over 100 mph . With the tender, the unit was approximately 123 feet long. The steam turbine was a modified marine unit. While the gearing system was simpler than a generator, it had a fatal flaw: the turbine was inefficient at slow speeds. Below about 40 mph the turbine used enormous amounts of steam and fuel. At high speeds, however, the S2 could propel heavy trains almost effortlessly and efficiently. The smooth turbine drive put far less stress on the track than a normal piston-driven locomotive. However, poor efficiency at slow speeds doomed this turbine, and with diesel-electrics being introduced, no more S2s were built. The locomotive was retired in 1949 and scrapped in May, 1952.

The product was as advertised. The message is succinct and is an eye-catcher. This shirt gets a heap of feedback from onlookers. Most ask you to stand still while they finish reading the definition. They then either give you the thumbs-up or nod any walk away. Either way, its a real conversation starter and so far, no one has disagreed enough with the print to verbalize. The material is fairly light, but the print is stable enough to withstand washes and some activity. A fair deal. Readable and durable.
