<p>The Milwaukee Road F7 is said to be capable of speeds in excess of 100mph, but there is no record of proof for that. However, F6 #6402 was officially clocked at 103.5 on July 20th, 1934. There is certainly no doubt that the F7 could achieve that as well.</p> <p>Unfortunately, there is no F7 left to join the ranks of "high speed" steam engines still operating in the 21st century. If you want to enjoy travelling at speeds above your average Amtrak train, you will have to come to Europe to ride behind the A1 "Tornado", the A4 "Mallard" or DR 18 201.</p>
