That meant you could've bought one! Such a tragic shame that not one was preserved. Cool catch, John. You were fortunate to see them!

Glad You were there to capture this shot of the PRR Q2's John, even tied down they look awesome. Thanks for all the classic shots you have been posting on RP!

It sure would be neat to see and hear one of these ladies in action! Too bad none were saved for future generations to see because it sure would be neat to see what 115,800 pounds of tractive force looks like! FYI...the book 'Pennsy Power' by A. Staufer shows these same locomotives (dead) in the same area on October 30, 1954. Thanks for sharing.

Woah! What a shame the Q2's weren't ever saved, would have been cool to seen one in a museum! Thanks for sharing this John, along with all your other photos

Thanks for posting this very rare historic shot. The Q2,s really had a kick ass look about them,and photos are few and far between. Best regards.
