People forget how these big locomotives made America great before the days of diesel. Glad you keep this stuff alive!

Nothing defines American Steam like these huge articulateds

It used to always be the 4-4-0 for me

[@mrsaturngamingandstories]

Well 4-4-0 is iconic too

I have a model of the USRA 2-8-8-2, and I didn’t know much about it until now. Thanks for sharing!

[@americansteamlegacy-yh9dr]

Hi strasburgrailfan90. That's awesome!!! I'm really glad the video provided value to you. That's what I'm here for!! Thanks for watching!!

The tender of locomotive 1714 seems to have 4 powered axles on the tender. The photo shows up at 5:06.

[@americansteamlegacy-yh9dr]

Hi briansmith8385. You're right. That particular tender had a booster engine installed in each truck. The booster powered one axle while the side rods transmitted power to the other. Good observation!! Thanks for watching!!!

interesting side note bout the N&W Y2 is that you can see a color shot of N&W Y2 #1715 at work at the end of their revenue career in the N&W company produced video Operation Fast Freight from 1950. I also got a model of the N&W Y3a #2050.

Nothing says American steam quite like big Malleys

It sounds like the President of the Virginian railroad Was just telling the government to fuck off Which he's okay in my book. If that's the case.

Only one “a” in “Adhesion” (at the beginning)
