So your saying the Cab-forwards aren't backwards yellowstones? If the Cab-forward isn't a backwards yellowstone, than how come the numbers match up so well with the AC-9, a "true" yellowstone? This 2-8-8-4 has most of the same stats as our 4-8-8-2, but she's facing the opposite direction. Plus the edge of the firebox is sitting on the 2nd driver from the cab, just like all other Yellowstones. And isn't a "Yellowstone" an enlarged 2-8-8-2 with a 4 wheel truck added? Even if the ....4 was for tracking, Forwards still had a similar distance between front driver edge and tip of cab. Sure does have a lot in common with being a backwards Yellowstone. Backwards Yellowstone or not, they are quite the machine. [img]http://photoswest.org/photos/00015876/00015921.jpg[/img]
