They have one of those in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn (near Detroit). It is absolutely monstrous. Largest, most powerful steam loco made. Designed to pull mile long coal cars up steep inclines and so hungry for coal they had to fit a mechanical cork-screw like system to funnel coal into the boilers because a group of men just wouldn't be able to shovel fast enough!I should point out, I'm not a train enthusiast, but after seeing it at the museam, I had to look into it. its just HUGE!
Heres the Allegheny
From a website "At 40 MPH they could generate 7,500 HP"
