The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) class T1 duplex-drive 4-4-4-4 steam locomotives, introduced in 1942 with two prototypes and later in 1945-1946 with 50 production examples, were the last steam locomotives built for the PRR and arguably its most controversial.
The T-1s could haul trains of the same length as an H-7 class 2-8-8-2 at a faster speed. The locomotives mainly operated between Russell, Kentucky and Toledo, Ohio, with a few being assigned in eastern Virginia. They were rated at 13,500-short-ton (12,200 t; 12,100-long-ton) loaded coal hoppers.
Pennsylvania Railroad 5550 (PRR 5550) is a mainline duplex drive steam locomotive under construction in the United States. With an estimated completion by 2030, the locomotive will become the 53rd example of the Pennsylvania Railroad's T1 steam locomotive class and the only operational locomotive of its type, [7] as well as the largest steam locomotive built in the United States since 1952.
Between 1923 and 1925, the Baldwin Locomotive Works constructed fifty I-10sa class locomotives (Nos. 2000-2049) for the Reading Company (RDG) in Pennsylvania. The I-10sa’s generated a tractive effort of over 71,000 pounds (32 tonnes), as compared to 19,390 pounds (8.80 tonnes) of the railroad's 2-8-0s built in the 19th century. [2]

This resulted in the formation of what became the Southern Pacific Class T-1, these locomotives were designed to be used as heavy passenger locomotives on the Southern Pacific Railroad. A total of 39 of these locomotives were ever built between 1896 and 1897 by the Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works and the Schenectady Locomotive Works and all ...
The C&O ordered twenty-five locomotives from Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) in 1948 to pull coal trains. When coal production dramatically fell due to labor unrest in 1949, the order was revised to just ten locomotives (Nos. 1300–1309), and No. 1309 became the last Class 1 domestic steam locomotive built by BLW.
