Thanks for posting the link to the C&OHS article on the PRR T1 tests. What's mising from the version cited are the graphics that were part of the original article in C&O History (May 2005 issue). Kevin Holland did a superb job of presentation and layout. Makes the text a lot easier to understand. Copies available from C&OHS. I'd be happy to field any questions. There's more information on these tests than was printed.

This wanders a bit OT. I read the article found it very good. I must ask, is there any info out there on the final C&O Hudsons and esp. their typeB poppets? The tie in with the T1 is the valves and what I heard was the consideration to put poppets on the Greenbriers as well.

I've never found anything definitive on the performance of the C&O L2a's with the type B rotary cam gear. Because they were so late in the game, I doubt that any tests were ever run. The J3a 4-8-4's (of which 614 is a member) were considered for poppet gear and streamlining, but never built that way.
