What's so special about Big Boys?

ValorStorm - <br /> <br />The original question wasn't "biggest". It was "special". If being the longest (you said it "covered more rail than any other steam locomotive") made it the most special, then you're right. <br /> <br />Actually, the question about being the most "special" can't really be answered. <br /> <br />There are those to whom the question of "most special" can apply to just about anything. Milwaukee Road fans are apt to argue that it was their class A Atlantics or F7 Hudsons; Southern Railway fans will go to bat for their Ps-4 Pacifics; Santa Fe fans for their 5011 2-10-4s or 2900 4-8-4s; SP fans for the cab forwards or Daylights; and on and on and on. <br /> <br />And you know what? <br /> <br />They're all RIGHT! <br /> <br />Old Timer
