Quote: ndbprr Pure passenger engines had drivers approaching 8' in diameter. The logic is easy. A passenger train doesn't weigh as much as a freight, goes faster and is more economically run with larger wheels as they make fewer revolutions. -- What about the pure passenger N&W J? It only had 70 inch diameter drivers and could easily run 100mph plus on flat ground?
