Thats not why. The Forney was traided from disney to ceaterfair bc the Forney was to big for disney land and to big for world. thats why they traided it to ceaterfair for the one that disney land has now. Knotts got it bc ceaterfair owns knotts. one guy at knotts asked if they can have the forney bc it would be cheaper to run. not bc of the c19s are to big. the lay out use to be even smaller then it is now. tighter turns even.
I have known about the Forney being from Disney, then traded to Cedar Point, but I did not know that they had tighter turns back then than they do now.
When 464 was running at knotts her trailing truck would pop off once and a while. but the turns have not change much since 70's. maybe u should take a trip out to knotts and take a ride.
At 0:39 a guy said they started working on this engine in 1994, what he meant was in 1994, part of 464's frame broke and was pulled out of service and replaced by HRR #2, they finished working on 464 in 2004 but the reason why it took so long was because they had to build a brand new tender cause the original one had too much irrepairable holes in it. now her she is working again.
and its not the cylinders that are outies. its the frame of the loco that is outside and makes it different the driver are inside the frame and it has counter weights on the other side of the frame that you see on the outside
I was told that they only take that 2-8-2 on special ocasions.

i think 463 is the original one
and its not the cylinders that are outies. its the frame of the loco that is outside and makes it different the driver are inside the frame and it has counter weights on the other side of the frame that you see on the outside

Chatzi - you are correct, but wrong about the comment, some K-27s had the cylinders sloping inward and some outward
