How about an MLW FPA-4/FPB-4 on a passenger train?  The prototypes were geared for 93 mph...

However, on my layout, the highest posted speed limit is, I think, 40 mph.

Show me more non-EMD locomotives, please.

Here's an overhead water crane fed from the large steel tank in the background. Both PRR and B&O used these overhead water plugs. Maybe others?
