All K4 variants covered. I'm happy now. Incredibly well made video once again! The editing here is superb as well with the transitions, and I'm glad to see that Empire State Rails, a fellow Long Islander like myself, helped make the case for placing the G5s up towards the top. I feel those engines aren't discussed by Pennsy enthusiasts when compared to LIRR fans. Thanks for explaining some stats about some of the Pennsy's famous and lesser known engines.

I mean, I'm a Pennsy guy, but the NYC has more than 4 (I assume by 4, you meant the 2 Mohawks, 999, and 6721).The Pennsy still wins the argument, though, since if we include those that ended up on other roads (looking at you, Frisco 4018 and--I shit you not--1630), subsidiaries and predecessors, there around 22 total to the NYC's ~14. For reference, in addition to my assumed 4: ATSF 2522 (nee-NYC 2976 class G-6k, to KCM&O #66 in 1927, to ATSF 2522 in 1928), on display in Fairview, OK. ex-NYC 5780 class G-43a, permanently stranded in the woods near Chamberlain Lake, Maine. NYC 6894 class B-10w (nee-Michigan Central 8794) on the Whitewater Valley RR in Connersville, IN. That's not including 5 from subsidiary roads that were never numbered into the NYC roster, one of which is the OTHER engine stuck in the Maine Woods (ex-IHB 15).

17:11 hey look it’s my whistle asset (shameless self promo ☠️) Anyways here’s some facts for some PRR classes: 1. There were plans for another subclass after the M1b but were shelved cause of the influx of diesels being purchased. 2. The reason why these engines were removed from passenger service is actually explained! I don’t know the full answer myself but one reason why is because their massive side rods and cylinders coupled with the 72inch drivers made the Pullmans have, to quote complaints towards the Passenger Department from angry passengers, “a rather bumpy ride.” 3. There were plans for both an oil fired _and_ a water tubed firebox variant of the M1. Much like L1s 2861. 4. Before the 40s, top speeds for the I1s’ were 30 mph whilst its N1s/N2sa behemoth cousins were rated for 40. This was changed later on when the I1s’ were rebuilt to I1sa’s. 5. H5s (while not mentioned in this video thank god) literally only existed for helper service up the Altoona Slope until the 20s where they all died. 6. Coast to coast tenders are a pain to do research on. No I’m dead serious. Some were riveted, others were welded. It’s confusing. 7. *_FUTURA FONT ON THEIR STEAM FLEET IS A NIGHTMARE TO RESEARCH._* 8. L1s 2861 (the weird water tubed firebox engine) was actually rebuilt by Baldwin. Not the B&O. I could go on and on but those are the major eight I want to get off my chest. Being a member of the PRRT&HS whilst researching obscure rail lines the PRR ran does this to ya kids.

HOT TAKE: But imo I think the Q1 is one of the most visually pleasing large steam locomotive the PRR made (based on aesthetics and body design)...I think the streamlined roof design flush with the tender panels. Kinda like the S series locomotives and the T1's... I feel like the large gap from the top of the cab roof to the top of the tender in locomotives like the J1, M1, and Q2 just don't sit right with me. I understand those are freight locomotives vs the streamlined style of passenger locomotives (like the T1 and S1) but it was just a weird niche design that I could never unsee. If you ignore the biggest issue of the backwards duplex drive, The Q1 design looks strong, powerful and sleek and the streamlining is flush from the top of the cab to the top of coal bunker of the tender. If the PRR bit the bullet and designed a 4-8-4 locomotive it should look more like this vs let’s say a longer M1 or something. Just my opinion…

could you do another tier list with santa fe please

The T1s performance wise were pretty crap I heard. The prototypes were good but the rest were rolling scrap iron from what I heard from most technical historians. Very very ugly aswell imop. It looks like a garden shed got stuck to the front. I'd go as far to say all the K4's at the end are miles ahead of that thing regarding looks.

The T1’s (when they worked) were pretty solid I’d say, it was more so down to crews not knowing how to run them properly. At the time they were familiar with conventional engines like a K4, this was new tech to them. As for aesthetics, to each their own.
