The 2-8-4s were the biggest NS had. You want anything bigger than that, you need another railroad . . . <br /> <br />The present day NS is made up of a lot of "fallen flags", most notably the Norfolk and Western as well as the Southern. Both railroads had "bigger" steam locomotives. O. Winston Link photographed "The Last Steam Trains in America", and those were articulated compound steamers hauling coal for the most part. I recently got a copy of the TIES magazine (the historical society of the SOUTHERN railroad) which talked about the SOUTHERN acquiring Mallet steam locomotives in the late 20's and 30's. <br /> <br />Erik
