    What a beautiful massive piece of engineering and a labor of love it took to get it back to that condition! Thank goodness it was preserved and restored. It's a rolling piece of history that dates back to when steam was king and the world ran on rails!

    The other type of monster articulated locomotive was the 2-6-6-6 "Allegheny". Only two still exist, neither in running condition. This one is in the Ford museum...



    A better view of it can be had from this model...
