Glad to see something outhaul the Big Boy for once. Given that the Q2 has 7800 horsepower to its name, while the Big Boy has 7000, the Q2 is not talked about nowhere near enough.
Something to look into also t boiler diameter supposedly are almost identical 106 and some change. People get the inside and outside diameter mixed up because of unreliable sources. And there's no way it could pull more than the big boy. Would need more tractive effort possible more drivers but already at maximum length pretty much.
The 8,000 horsepower is close, it's actually 7,987 cylinder horsepower, tested while stationary at an Altoona test plant. In terms of drawbar horsepower, the Allegheny is the most powerful steam locomotive of all, averaging 6,600-6,900 DBHP while actually in motion.
Allegheny still doesnt have as much tractive effort as the Q2. Drawbar horsepower for the Q2 isnt able to be found. Not convinced about the Allegheny. Cylinder horsepower for the Allegheny is recorded as what value?
@@09JDCTrainMan Tug of war, Q2 wins. Allegheny 110,000 lbs tractive effort. Q2 115,000 lbs. Q2 boiler is bigger. Means more steam, more hp, more torque. Allegheny isnt King.
Because the PRR was only a 50 mph top speed freight RR. In most cases, their 2-10-4s (basically a copy of the C&O T1) performed just as well at a lower build and operating cost at PRRs freight speeds, which was typically well below 50 mph. The Q2 was a cutting edge, end of steam design that the PRR didn't need. The PRR ended up just cutting them up to get some money out of them for scrap steel. Preservation was not in the though process.
The Q2 gets too much credit, drawbar horsepower is more important than cylinder horsepower since it's actually power at speed. Allegheny is king. Not in tractive effort tho, even the N&W class A can out-pull it from a standstill.
@09trainfan I've done some calculations and figured out that an Q2 wasn't even capable of producing more than 6000hp! Let me explain, there is 3 reasons. 1 it wasn't even moving in the test. Which would cause it to lose about 200 hp with rolling friction weight and aerodynamics. 2. The PRR would overfire their locomotives in tests. Some say about 20%+ 3. This is @cylinder hp not DBHP so it will always be lower. Now we're talking about 5600hp! I'm not surprised the boilers were short on these locomotives. And even if they produced more than 6000hp it had only 5 axles.
This argument you make is very flawed and very weak. Are you a certified engineer? Do you have your own test equipment used to measure the horsepower of the Q2? Apparently you are much more of a skilled technician even in modern day than the experts back in the peak of the steam era? Totally unconvinced by your argument. Q2 registered more horsepower than any other steam locomotive in history. It's well documented. I suspect that perhaps this is an emotional reaction of sorts because your favorite locomotive cant match the stats of the Q2. I believe that the Q2 had a larger diameter boiler than the Big Boy. The Virginian 2-10-10-2 actually had the largest boiler ever placed on any steam locomotive in history, as well as the diameter of around 120 inches. the low pressure cylinders at 48 inches 4 ft. Also the most tractive effort of any steamer in history. The AE class 2-10-10-2 built by Alco is definitely a winner in many categories.
@@torquetrain8963 nice all this is true but the q2 was measured in @cylinder not dbhp, @cylinder is usually much less than dbhp, dbhp is how much power u got on the wheels which is more important but u overlooked it, the big boy has around 5600dbhp and 6290top, but it's @cylinder is around 7000dbhp, see the difference u bozo? The Allegheny produced 7500dbhp top, and 6900dbhp for average so shut up and revise what Ur saying then talk.
@@abeda1636 Lol, shut up? Sure. List your source of information first that proves the test of the Q2 Horsepower was cylinder and not drawbar hp. No need to call names and tell people to shut up. Sounds like you need to grow up.
@@abeda1636 So according to what you said is that cylinder horsepower is less than drawbar horsepower. So if the Q2 has 8000 cylinder horsepower, then that means its drawbar horsepower is even more utilizing your logic.
Q2 is the most powerful steam locomotive ever built. Cut the cylinder static h.p./drawbar h.p. debate. I'm sure the engineers and mechanics and railroads of the past would have posted it. Q2 had 115,000 lbs of tractive effort. Allegheny had 110,000 lbs. The Q2 would have dragged the Allegheny back in its tracks. Q2 had a bigger boiler. Q2 had almost 2000 hp more than Big Boy also. Q2 is King of ALL locomotives. Period. All other engines bow down now. Q2 would pull the statue of liberty off of it's useless platform too. Q2 is King ,mofos.

I think it was more like 7,987 HP. so to say 8000HP is pretty close. It was higher than the Allegheny (at 7,800HP) but obviously not by much.

The Q2’s whistle sounds like the T1 Duplex’s real whistle.
It's a actually the audio of A PRR J1 Texas Type 3 Chime, I know because I made my own whistle from the same audio greencoast used
Beats me why the PRR didn't save a Q2 since they actually worked. Yeah they were expensive, but still, they worked the best out of all the Duplexes.
