During World War II . . . . . . . The Pennsylvania railroad wanted to build their own larger engine because freight shipments had drastically increased and their engine roster was strained to the limit . . .. .
However due to wartime restrictions Pennsylvania railroad was not allowed to spend any money on research and development of a new engine . . . . . . . ..
So to get around this problem they decided to lease two engines . . . . . . .. Test them . . . . . . And copy one of their designs . . . .. . . which was the C&O T1
However this is where the story gets very sketchy . . . . . . . and remains unproven . . . . . . Rumours persist that they also built one version of their own of the Norfolk & Western A Class . . . . then known as the PRR FG-1 2-6-6-4 it was then revealed . . . and the project was stopped by the US Government
The recent discovery of old glass negative black & white photos and an even rarer 16 mm film of the one and only testing of the locomotive . . . . . but it is still denied and claimed as fake evidence by all parties . . . . . .
Here is the TRUE story . . . . . . .
