QUOTE: Originally posted by grayfox1119 In 1941, ALCO made the first of the BIGBOY series Steam Engines for UP to tackle the western U.S. mountains with long drags. This engine was rated at 6000HP. The question is: in what year did the FIRST DIESEL engine produce 6000HP? 1949, 1954, 1967, 1969, or 1971?

QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy All steam has a horsepower rating, but it doesn't equate to true pulling power like on diesels. Factor of adhesion and drawbar pull are more important than raw horsepower, which is why the true power of steam was measured in pounds of drawbar pull.
