Gosh! Maybe that's not the best signature quote. Or whatever that thing is...... Yeah, I know the Alley was heavier than the BB, but (i'm sure you've all heard this) the Big Boy and the Alley never really competed in the same area of work. The Alley was used in low speed coal drags (on the C&O, anyway), while the Big Boy was used in high speed freight. Thus the war between the locos continues. <br /> <br />(though I hate to admit it [;)], the Big Boys and the Alleys were surpassed by the N&W's Y class locos)
