CB&Q 4-6-4 No 4000 "AEOLUS" (Keeper of the Winds)

I've posted some data on this on the Classic Trains Website some time ago.

I was one of the few fully streamlined steamers.

My wheel arrangement is considered the best looking to the eye by many.

I kept my sheathing for only 6 years, and I am named after one of the Greek mythological characters.

Nope. And the Q2 wasn't articulated. [;)]

I do not have air pumps mounted on my face.
My giant articulated body is tremendously powerful.
I spent alot of time movin coal in lush, green surroundings.
The first one of our group of 30 was built in 1944.
I burn coal from my HUGE, unique shaped tender.

Sorry about the delay! We have night and sleeping at different times.

Joseph2 is correct.

CP called it the Jubilee

Reading called it the... wait for it... "Reading type"

Reading rebuilt theirs as Atlantics because the trailing truck caused problems, but they had to fit a smaller (Wootten) firebox.

So AggroJones was very close and should get half a point!

Over to somebody else please!

[AggroJones]

Atlantic 4-4-2?

[joseph2]

A 4-4-4 Jubilee ? Joe G.

[M636C]

There were only two Railroads with this wheel arrangement for fast passenger trains, and they gave the class different names. The first road rebuilt theirs very quickly to much more common arrangement. The second user built them, two classes, after most people thought there would not be anything like it built, but kept them until the end of steam.

A correct answer would be either name or the wheel arrangement.

Hint--WWII.

There aren't many wheel arrangements with TWO names, usually one, or for 4-8-4, more than you could imagine.

4-6-4, Baltic or Hudson is my first guess!

I didn't win this round, but I am a popular wheel arrangement--for a time, I was known by a different name
than what I am most commonly known as--what's my arrangement, and what was my alternative name?

I have the longest ridged wheel base in the US.

I'm one of the most famous steamers on my road.

I roamed the open spaces in the West.

My boiler jacket is relatively clear of piping.

Doggy, now your getting ahead of yourself! The Baltic was class F-7 as I just found out, the S2 was a 4-8-4 Northern.

What am I
I was owned by the Milwaukee Road
I am a class S2
I ran out of Minnestoa
I was suppose to be an S1 so I could run on lighter track but the War Production Board said no
I had 10 of my class built

Also, of course Pennsy J-1 and J-1a which were the same design (except for the cab)

Peter

Yeah.
