I would suggest that anyone preparing a report on steam turbine locomotive 
development include the C&O turbines built around 1948.  I think they 
ordered 5 of these monsters to use, strange as it seems, in passenger 
service.  They didn't last very long, and it would be interesting to know 
how that experience influenced  N&W's 2300, which from all reports was 
successful.  It just came too late in the game.  Both the C&O and N&W 
turbines used steam to generate electricity to power traction motors.  I'm 
not sure what the propulsion principal was for the Pennsy locomotive which 
looked like a conventional rod engine minus cylinders.  Was it direct drive 
through gear reduction?
