Firelock76 Don't forget the Lehigh and New England's decapods, with the tender boosters cut in they generated a tractive effort of 106,200 pounds. Weighing in at 400,000 pounds they couldn't be doubleheaded over the Lehigh River Gap bridge. Photos show a big, all-business locomotive that didn't take esthetics into consideration. Strasburg's 90 is as graceful as a ballerina. An L&NE 400 looks like a very, VERY annoyed linebacker!
