PRR FG-1 Articulated Released!
During WWII, the PRR leased a C&O T1 2-10-4, and an N&W A Class 2-6-6-4 in order to test the design and ultimately copy one of them for use on a new locomotive design. The PRR ended up going with the C&O T1 and that became the PRR J1.
But imagine if the PRR had gone with the N&W Class instead! You'd have a modernized articulated engine capable of fast freight, slow drags, and even passenger service if need be!
Say hello to what may have been the PRR FG-1 Articulated!

That got me to thinking . . . it would be interesting to see a Pennsylvania 4-6-6-4. However, that would be a GG-1, and that is already taken. How about a GG-2? Or maybe a 2-8-8-4? Given that there's already a fictional Pennsylvania 4-8-4, an R-1, and a 2-8-0 is a H, then that would be a HR-1. Or maybe a 4-8-8-4? That would be a RR-1. How about a 2-8-8-2? That'd be a HH-1. Maybe a 2-10-10-2? That'd be a II-1. Or a 2-6-6-2? That'd be a FF-1. Now the question is . . . what would the PRR call a triplex? Or a 2-6-6-6 Allegheny?
The PRR had a power problem to the south so the dispatcher thought of killing 2 birds with one stone and attached an FG-1 to the southbound Northern Arrow. The infamous Railfan caught this consist coming through Norwood on it's way to Cincinnati.
First caught sight of her.
Now passing East Norwood and the Von Falck Armaments factory. With the war going on that factory never sleeps.
Now passing through Ivorydale one of the industrial parts of the city.
Getting ready to pass under Zinzinnati Zeppelin.
Closing in on Union Terminal
I'm so happy to see Steve and K&L again do a fictional locomotive. Perfect for a fictional route

Experimental PRR FG-1 blasts over the viaduct leading into Lerro City.

Interesting city name!
Railwoodman has all sorts of interesting names on his WIP PRR route.
The Wilmington complex gets a new mallet house.
Whew, just fits.
