A total of 52 T-1's were built, 6110-6111 (Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon) and 5500-5549.
You need to read W. A. "Bill" Gardner's account in Trains about delivering the first two E7As to the Pennsy. The E7s kept making the daily runs from Altoona to Detroit while the T-1s became overnight shop queens.
None were preserved...they all came apart chunks at a time under the cutter's torch.
According to this source, my only recourse on the subject, two groups of 25 were produced.

Are there any Pensylvania RR T1 still surviving, or have they all been scrapped?
How many were originally built? They are my favorite steam locomotive, aside from the Y6a.
Thanks! Acela
