  • What kind of curves are those?

  • Very imposing! I like !

  • Even though this engine (the real version) was pretty much a failure, it's still one of my favorites.

  • wow looks retarded going around turn lol

  • Re upload this video in hi-def

  • 700 was a 2-8-8-8-4 built in 1916 and rebuilt as a 2-8-8-0 and a 2-8-2 in 1920. The actual 2-8-8-8-2s were Erie's 5014, 5015, and 5016 (I know 5015, I'm not quite sure of the other two numbers).

  • its true cuz they scraped the triplexes when the hudson came along

  • Big Boy was bigger at appx. 135 feet long they exceeded the Triplex by about 45 feet, they were also a much bigger success because, Big Boy could sustain a much higher speed due to the fact that it could actually create enough steam for it's drivers. Essentially Big Boys are still the biggest and are better known through out the country,

    Triplexes were essentially used just to get over Susquehanna hill and Big Boys were used in long haul freight services.

  • @skybluedragonator Ithought the Big Boys were 135 feet long?
