Nice video. I have a tall tale to share for this series Penn Station New York is the busiest passenger rail station in all of North America, but freight rail does not run through Manhattan where Penn Station is located. Yet despite being designed for passenger service only, revenue freight trains did in fact serve the busy Penn Station on a regular basis at one point, as a coal hopper would be placed behind a DD1 electric engine and would be unloaded to power the steam heaters of Penn Station. Although operations ended when the station was converted from 3rd rail to overhead electric, most of the equipment used for this operation can still be seen today on present day Track 1 of Penn Station.
I settimg this story in 1934 the Milwaukee road needed some strong locomovties to pull some long trains over thier subsivisions so they ordered 1 custom2-10-10-10-2 for trial purposes and being happy with it they ordered 15 more with warships valvegear and roller bearings on each akle thier starting tractive effort was 230000 starting and 215000 continues and they would be used on long manifest trains
@@user-py3cr4zm6b yes it will! I was actually starting to think of a story for a 2-10-10-10-2 that you made comment about a few weeks ago. However it appears you beat me to making the story 😂 I'm glad you came up with the story though, it's definitely going to be a good one!
Thanks you so much for letting me know I missed that! Ep3 was a tall tail. I will also put a community post out for anyone else wondering. Ya when I make these videos, sometimes I will make 2 in a day and sometimes you just kinda phase things out! Once again thanks for the heads up!
