>>1771325>When roads like the C&O and the Pennsy were pushing 40t per axle with Texans, that should have been a sign that things were getting stupid.Um, PRR S1, anyone? 3 years earlier than the T1 (C&O)/J1 (PRR)? Hello?
Look, I like the Pennsy myself, but an engine that's so damn massive that it was limited Chicago, IL to Crestline, OH? And even then, derailing on the Crestline wye multiple times?
Though the streamlining wasn't too bad, I reckon, and it did pave the way for the other duplexes.
