Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Pennsylvania Railroad's class S2 was a steam turbine locomotive. Only one prototype was built, #6200, delivered in 1944. The S2 was the sole example of the 6-8-6 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, featuring a six-wheel leading truck, eight driving wheels, and a six-wheel trailing truck. The S2 design used a direct-drive steam turbine; the turbine was geared to the center pair of axles with the outer two axles connected by side rods. This had the advantage of simplicity. The disadvantage was that the turbine could not operate at optimal speeds over the locomotive's entire speed range. The S2 was the largest direct-drive turbine locomotive design ever built.
