I'd like to know about those 9000 HP 2-10-4s. <br /> <br />Is that figure confirmed on tests? Is it drawbar horsepower? Cylinder horsepower? <br /> <br />As I recall, the CGW 2-10-4s were practically duplicates of those that went to the T&P, and they weren't anywhere near 9000 HP. In fact, no steam locomotive ever built ever got near 9000 HP. The C&O 2-6-6-6 was reportedly the most powerful, HP wise, and the maximum they ever recorded was 7498. <br /> <br />Old Timer
