I'v been on steam trains and watched them go down track but i never seen one move that fast. that was cool. how fast would you say it was traveling?

Its licensed for 75MPH on mainline use, but the design is rated at 100MPH

Its an A1 pacific. Rated at 2700 metric horsepower.

Thanks! It was a great to see!

It doesn't have its name plaque on the side yet, apparently it will have it when Prince Charles officially names it.
