Train Trivia 10/8/05 (ANSWERED)

I say, Allegheny. I hear it’s the heaviest ever built.

The Allegheny was the heaviest. IIRC it was also the most powerful.

There are TWO big articulateds heavier than Big Boy. You listed one, but forgot to list the other. Shame on you!!

Does this give you a hint, LOL?

With her tender, adn fueled up the Big boy was the heaviest thing on the rails. Even though the Alleghany had a higher tractive effort, was heaveir without the tender, and was wider. The correct answer the Union Pacific Big Boy.

Dan,

Thank you, no hard feelings.
