Catzilla also loved the tall tail or not video man

i rembr

You can't count either. That looks like a 2-10-10-2 to me, not a 2-10-10-10-2.

I have another so in 2004 csx commissioned ge and emd to build a loco together ( kinda wierd but whatever) what the two came up with was the sd94acw a 6850hp behemoth of a loco csx ordered 1 and tested it in coal service and it proved successful so csx ordered 99 more units with the first thirty (including the demonstration unit)into ac60cw yn2 and the rest in yn3 the locos would combine elements of the dash-9 ac44cw and sd90mac like the cab of the dash-9 and the radiators of the sd90mac and the fuel tanks of the ac44cw the unit would wiegh 455000 pounds have 210000 starting and 198800 pounds continues. 30 of the units were retired when everyone's favorite railroad man, E Hunter Harrison, deemed 30 of the engines to be surplus. The 30 that were retired were sent up to ltex for leasing and for shortline use with most of the units being kept on the roster you can still find them roaming around on the rails today leading and trailing on trains mostly coal trains but there not as common as say a gevo or the ac44 rebuilds

Awesome video man by the way both locos would look identical to there smaller counterparts with the dd60axs being longer to include the d-d x d-d wheel arrangement with the u70 looking the same to the u50 and u50c

The only steam lpcomotive i can think of that was specifically built with a six truck was the allegheny

I believe this to be a tall tail. I don’t think a boiler of practical size could provide enough steam for that large a locomotive. I can’t remember which railroad had built a 2-6-6-6-2 ? but this failed because the one set of drivers was under the tender and lost adhesion as the tender emptied. The locomotive you pictured is that of a Santa Fe 2-10-10-2 with an articulated boiler. This failed miserably, so badly so that the railroad separated the halves and produced two locomotives from one, so the story goes. Back in the early days of the Central Pacific, they produced a 4-12-0 as I remember, the boiler couldn’t produce enough steam for the cylinders, and the tender could only carry enough water and fuel for about 15 miles or so.

My story almost done @trainbandit?

Nice video and display! 😊

Happy New Year!!

Awesome Bandit!! He’s getting big!!

We always had Lionel train around the Christmas tree

Cant wait to hear my story for season two

They look kinda like the steamer tender engine locomotives within the North American Union Pacific Railroad movies. 1. Big Boy 2. Last Of The Giants 3. Eighty-Four-Forty-Four 4. Last Of The Giants Volume 2: The Cheyenne Shops 5. Last Of The Giants Volume 3: Sherman Hill 6. Big Boys On TV 7. The Union Pacific Big Boy Collection

Tall tale because the six axle truck does not make sense

How about the chesapeake and ohio 2-6-6-6 allegheny ?

Awesome Bandit! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Me likem heap big plenty good. Aaa?

I think this story is true

Great response to the challenge 👍

Merry Christmas can't wait to see the next tall tale or not video and also very cool layout

Awesome display! Thanks for joining this year's display contest - Merry Christmas!

Sorry, But the stories ive heard , were the biggest engines made , had driver wheels , with Eight wheel sets, and Ten sets , couldnt mke it around the curved tracks, in use., without what they called, "BLIND DRIVERS" ! (That's because they had no inside rims, on some wheels !)

I love that old tyme steamer!!

Awesome Bandit!! I love that log loader!!

Nice short! Is that an On30 train on the inside track?

Hey train bandit got another good story this takes place in late 1979 so the union pacific was looking for a new desiel locomotive to replace thier gtels with ge making the u50 emd making the dd35a and b and dda40x and alco making the c855 but all three had plans to go bigger with these bulids and when i mean bigger i mean way bigger ill start with ge and thier loco they rolled out was called the u70 with 7200 horsepower and riding on a b+b×b+b wheel arrangement while emd built the dd60ax with 7500 hp riding on a d-d+d-d wheel arrangement and alco decided not to do it since sales were dropping and they close thier shop in the early seventys. Ultimately, union pacific decided to go with both units seeing they like both and placed orders for 80 u70s with 30 being a units and the other 50 being b units and the ordered 115 dd60axs 63 being a units and 52 b units and they served on coal trains, unit tank trains, mainfest, etc, etc. They would serve for twenty years with sadly no surivors.they served from october,28,1981 to march, 5, 2003

Looks so nice! Very festive Bandit!

Five bucks it was speech to text. Curse speech to text

Awesome history vid Bandit!! I’ve been thinking about adding some of those to my layout one day. Congrats on the subs!! 🚂😎

It was a non powered tender like the big boy in classic trains magazine with the big boy had 4025-4029 but with ww2 ending soon than expected they were never built but had drawings of them that were lost.
