The DR ((Deuche Reichbahn)) had two; 05-001 and 05-002, and I beleive one is the offical second fastest reccorded speed after the A4 Pacific in Enland.

One still exists and does 100mph steam train excursions.

NOBODY LISTED THEM ALL, BUT NOBODY GOT ANY WRONG EITHER. THIS WASN'T AS MUCH OF A QUIZ, BUT STILL INTERESTING.

C&NW also had streamlined Hudsons, the E-4's. They were pretty much restricted to the Omaha main because of their weight.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Some of Canadian Pacifics Hudsons were semi-streamlined..

Generally a lurker by nature

Be Alert
The world needs more lerts.

It's the 3rd rail that makes the difference.

C&O--and there's one of them at the B&O Museum! C&O's were numbered 490-493; it's the 490 that was preserved.
