It's amazing how sturdily these things were built out of forged and machined iron and steel. The mechanical genius that went into perfecting steam locomotives is amazing as well. The speed of the piston and driving rod is hynotic...it seems impossible for something that large and heavy to move so fast flawlessly and endlessly without flying apart.

Don't you just love double standards... You're driving a modern vehicle at 70 MPH on an open road and that's considered speeding. If you're caught, you're ticketed & fined and everyone (heads shaking) looks at you like your "dangerous". The engineer, on the other hand, is operating a 65 year old mega ton, obsolete technologied vehicle at 70MPH which if ever derailed, could wipe out a town... yet he's "Highballing", is considered "a hero" & is slapped on the back if he breaks a speed record.

America always built the best & most beautiful loco's. Russia the same with tanks, and Germany produced the best losers of war.. Its interesting how cultures have their unique traits & differences.

Ahh Skip you did it again. Your stuff is the best and it never gets old.

Even though I'm a Pennsy fan, I have to admit, the UP had some fantastic steam locomotives! I'm so glad that they're still in action. They have real personality.

Beautiful...Just beautiful! It's mind boggling to think of how fast that heavy steel/iron is rotating and it doesn't just fly apart.

Beats the socks off of those crappy hi speed rail trains.

Just wish they would have double headed her with steam!
