One invariably hears how one train can outdo the other, but as far as I can recollect, there have not been any steam loco races. I mean against each other on parellel tracks extending for, say, ten miles. There're still enough of these 'big boys' left around the country to organise such a race. I'm sure it'll be a sell-out. <br />The race, in my opinion, should be limited to steam engines. Why? They're so much more romantic looking (for want of a better word). <br />As someone once said, they're ghosts that refuse to die. What a perfect way to resurrect these giants to their former glory. <br />On the subject of speed, did the hogheads of old have any tricks up their bib denim overalls to speed things up, especially on the stretch run?
