<p>[quote user="wisandsouthernkid"]oh and a few other things. I sure wouldnt want to ride behind a 2000 lb (or more) reciprocating mass at 150mph that could be dangerous even being modernized that is alot of metal flying too quickly for my taste. Also i want to see steam wheels handle that speed. i dont think that there is no way it would work. Just my two cents[/quote]</p><p>Yeah, remember that article in TRAINS about a MILW <em>Hiawatha</em> locomotive that got some part of the wheel linkage jammed around 70-something MPH? Boom...<span class="smiley">[:O]</span></p><p>On a modernized locomotive, that would be less likely to happen, but still, many modern locos still have teething problemswhen they're introduced...</p><p> </p>
