Actually, there is no way Sierra No. 3 could take a curve at 88 mph as shown. It's not a power problem. 19th century 4-6-0 designs are unbalanced and prone to derailment. There's a solution to that involving a complex suspension, but that came later. More than you ever wanted to know about locomotive suspensions.[1] [1] https://books.google.com/books?id=1A4iiGAz628C&pg=PA62#v=one... |
