The Allegheny would do okay on the mountains, but would slow the road down between Larmie and Evanston. Her firebox is sufficiently sized to work okay with Wyoming coal (the same can not be said of the N&W A which was designed specifically for high heat content Pocohantos coal). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This too maybe debatable , I will not claim in any way expert status but me thinks itme to hit the books. <br /> <br />I'll be back"
