They may have been beasts but they had a baby face and thus their nick name. Thanks for posting these pinups.

Outstanding; thanks for posting!

Wow, that thing is a beast! Good looking profile.

On this date 60 years later I was photographing a Chinese QJ 2-10-2 steam locomotive at Geneseo, LL on the Iowa Interstate on another sunny day!

"Beast" is right. They were also nicknamed "Centipedes". And given their maintenance issues it sounds like some PRR mechanics almost would have preferred having been bitten by an Amazon, Sonoran or Vietnamese giant centipede rather than having to work on one of these. Nonetheless, beautiful creations they were on the outside.

Great! Look at the number of wheels on this monster! Would love to see this one alive! Thanks John!
