Pennsylvania Railroad 5550

Pennsylvania Railroad 5550 is a mainline duplex drive steam locomotive being built in the United States of America. Upon completion, estimated to be around 2030, the locomotive will be the 53rd addition to (and only extant example of) the Pennsylvania Railroad's T1 steam locomotive class. The total estimated cost of PRR 5550 was US $10,000,000, but with the acquisition of an existing long haul tender from the Western New York Railway Historical Society in August 2017, the total cost is now estimated to be closer to US $7,000,000. Construction of the locomotive began in 2014 with the casting of the locomotive's keystone-shaped number plate. Major components completed as of March 2019 include two Boxpok drivers, the prow, cab, third course boiler, and fire door. Front tube sheet construction
