I've seen Amtrak P42 hauling through a small Illinois town going west at 70+mph, would love to see one of those at speed with a string of passenger cars, then I will have lived! <br /> <br />Recently learned why steam never impressed me, most of what I'd seen was low speed in a park setting, Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, Tweetsie, it just did it's thing, aside from smoke, cinders, but never saw one at speed. Until decent diesels, steam was king. Sorry I never saw working steam outside a captive setting. I'm more partial to electric. <br /> <br />[/quote] You've obviosly never seen UP 844 howling by at 60 mph with an excursion special or seen 4449 powering up Cajon Pass. [:)][:D][;)][8D]
