As most know, PRR took a loss in 1946. Diesels had to look really good after that happened.
A film record of that very brief window in time , maybe 3- 6 months when the T1's were the stars of the show. Extremely clean machine. They were almost apologetic in the narration about the Diesels but onimous sounding. Not long afterward the T1's never looked like that, they were filthy and appearances were not kept up.
Flying hazardous or grounded, roads treacherous for long journey, many dirt roads and sections, Diesels not yet favoured by the bosses.
Makes sense. Good option. Looked great.
But... no dice, did not work out. The debate rages as to why.
Thanks. Worth the time viewing, and recommended to otherw.
Lots of irony with one E-7 or E-8 and stillk promotion of the Turbine and the often seen T-1s as the power for the future!
But what reader of the magazine cannot enjoy all that mainline steam action?
Thanks. I have seen probably most of the NYC and Pennsy videos over the years, but I still enjoy seeing them.
I'm posting this so we can take a break from Covid 19 and get back to why we are here.
