One BNSF predecessor engine on each end moves Frisco steam engine 4500 from the SKOL to the UP on the other side of town. Max speed was 2 MPH or walking speed.
It still has friction bearings and no one wanted to take a chance of them overheating. it also had to be moved at no more than walking speed as dictated by FRA.
