The Pennsylvania Railroad 's class L6 comprised three electric locomotives of 2-8-2 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation.

L6 - PRR freight AC electric locomotives. M1 - mixed-traffic Mountain type, latterly mostly used on fast freight. N1s - Lines West heavy freight locomotive. N2s - USRA Standard 2-10-2, also used on Lines West. The 4-4-4 arrangement was rare anywhere, and on the PRR it was found only on eight experimental electric locomotives.

Jan 14, 2021 · The L6 series was to be PRR’s top electric freight locomotive, but when the P5-series motors were reassigned to freight service, the fleet was capped at two L6 prototypes and one L6a, which was the first of a 30-unit order from Lima that was never completed.

In 1933, another L-6 (road number 5940) was built by the Lima Locomotive Works using Westinghouse components. These locomotives had four 625 HP traction motors and roller bearings on all axles. The driving wheels were driven through direct axle gearing giving the locomotive a 2500 HP rating.

Dec 14, 2020 · The L5s were designed to be easily modified for DC or AC, freight or passenger gearing and Westinghouse or GE electrical equipment. These were noted in an alphabetical suffix to the class, i.e. L5pdw, L5faw, etc. The AC designs had one pantograph and later a second one was added. DD2 anyone? PRR_DD2 by Edmund, on Flickr
