It was designed to demonstrate the technological advantages of the duplex drive wheels. It was recognized as having the longest (140 ft 2 ½ inches) and heaviest (608,170 lbs.) rigid from reciprocating steam locomotive ever built. It was numbered 6100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 featured the streamlined style shell designed by the famous Ramond Loewy, plus the unique 6-4-4-6 wheel arrangement. The locomotive was able to achieve fast passenger train speeds mainly because articulation was not used. The cost of the S1 was $669,780.00 (or $14,671,066 today). The locomotive was completed at the PRR’s Altoona shops on December 21st, 1938.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing several test runs, the locomotive was displayed at the 1939 New York World’s Fair with “American Railroads” lettering on the tender, rather than “Pennsylvania Railroad”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6100 began it’s passenger train services from December 1940, however due to it’s size featured many restrictions on where the locomotive could run.
