[quote user="Firelock76"]Secondly, and probably just as important,  610 couldn't give the speed Southern wanted for the excursions at the time.  Remember in those days they wanted 45mph running or more, preferably more, and 610 couldn't do it.  610 was a freight hog after all and not a passenger speedster.  ...The low speed can't be corrected however, the engine is what it is.[/quote] I thought the 610, although technically a freight wheel arrangement, was a super power example that was capable of fast freight speeds, and not what I would think of as a freight hog such as a 2-8-0, 2-10-0, or other dedicated freight engines.  I rode an excursion on the Rat Hole one time behind #610, and it must have been running 40-55 mph most of the time.
