Railway Preservation News :: View topic - Trivial Pursuit at the Strasburg Rail Road

For an ever so brief moment as I perused the list,
"T-1? Huh?
"What T-1?
"THEY HAVE A T-1?
"THEY HAVE A T-1!!
"STRASBURG REALLY HAS A T-1!!!"

Funny, but roughly the same kind of thoughts went through my mind as well. :)

Sure, the Air Force uses them in commuter service for the aliens at Area 51.

Most everyone knows it's been in a caved-in tunnel from the Atomic bomb tests in 1946-47.

"Oh..."

I may be wrong, but if I am not mistaken T1= Thomas 1. Not an actual T1. :) Very interesting numbers Kelly. Thank you for posting them. The comparison with some of the locomotives is very interesting Anthony

I'm wondering if the government is really trying to figure out, based on the auto industry, what the mandated efficiency should be for new steam locomotives built after 2015. I'm sure they will mandate at least 25 miles per ton. Hmmmm.....a "cash for clunkers" program??

Wait, you mean the ones the PRR leased survived?

Don't forget that the Strasburg Railroad is one of the few companies that could build a replica PRR T-1 from scratch. Not that I think they would ever have an economic reason to spend the money to make it happen. Besides if they wanted to build an extinct PRR locomotive replica, my vote would be for a J-1 2-10-4.

My goodness, that would be something! Strasburg running a T1 or J1 almost, what, four feet from one end of the line to the other? If NS would open their tracks to steam once again, it would a dream

The Brooklyn and Jamaica tried leaving a steam locomotive in a tunnel about 100 years earlier, and look where that's gotten us today. All kidding aside, it would be awfully cool if, somehow, either of those still existed.

(Notices Great-Granddaughter's little blue piggy bank with other Brio on the floor) "Oh..." GME Just came across this old thread looking for something else--and you know, with the Strasburg having recently hosted N&W 611, and the new T1 under construction, maybe this isn't so far fetched after all. . .
