@criind The NKP ran steam for a LONG time long after the other roads quit..
-
@MUEagle2002 A Nickel Plate or Pere Marquette berkshire could out pull 4449 or 261 with ease. Maybe not with the same speed, but close.

@MUEagle2002 N&W had some of the most powerful and efficient steam locomotives ever built, and they were home built at Roanoke. Say that one engine beats another one is the wrong way to go about it. Steam locomotives were each built for a specific purpose. The 611 was built to haul passenger trains in the mountains of the Virginias. 4449 and 261 did have mountains anywhere near that big to deal with.

beautiful steam engine :)

@David245611... N & W is popular where I live, but my heart is with Milwaukee Road and Northern Pacific steam. I'll take a NP Z Class Challenger anyday over a Class A :-P
-
@MUEagle2002 no way the N&W had steam longer than most railroads. N&W forever!
-
they should make the 1218 and the 611 pull Amtrak Trains on the RF&P Subdivision

1218 is a beast!
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Norfolk & Western a railroad...? Give it up. Union Pacific wins hands down!! The Southern Pacific 4449 also beats the 1218 and 611 hands down. Milwaukee Road # 261 also beats the N & W!!
You guys need to see some REAL railroading out west!!

As much as I like western railroads, eastern railrods have their own flare to them as well. After all, the most famous American steam locomotives were the New York Central Hudsons and Pennsy K4's. Right? Also, The N&W was the last railroad to use steam in regular service in America. So their is a good poiint for the N&W.
