I figured just by glancing at the pic and the poster that it was UP. Other than that I was screwed, not a steam man by far. Aggro's turn!

Be specific, Ship Union Pacific!! Road of sreamliners. Serves all the west. Bill Leider has the layout of my dreams. Someday i will rise to his greatness and have the most true to blue-print replica of the Union Pacific railroad in Utah and Idaho in HO scale.

I would suggest you drop the horsepower guess as a requirement for winning.  Getting accurate steam locomotive horsepower can be a bit dicey, to say the least.  What with typos thrown in and inaccuracies, I know I have seen at least ten different numbers shown for every one of the N&W's big 3.

How about Railroad, wheel arrangement, and class (also railroad dependent, like a Milwaukee Baltic instaed of Hudson) ?

Oh yeah, I think Aggro nailed it: UP MT-73 Mountain.

What could have happened.... did.
