[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ...I have in front of me a Kalmbach book of 1943 and a photo showing the E-2 Atlantic engine and passenger cars...with this discription under the photo: "Worlds fastest train now or in 1905"...."On June 12, 1905, the Pennsylvania Special, predecesor of the Broadway Limited went three miles in 85 seconds..." It was a fast-stepping E-2 Atlantic. That would be a hair over 127 mph. Have no idea if that may still stand...I doubt it. But that was fast for such roadbed available then. [/quote] Today the Pennsylvanian/Three Rivers can bearly keep it above 50mph 100 years after the Pennsylvania Special. I guess you call this progress.
