It would be sacrelige to some, but I'd like to see a new loco have a go at the steam speed record.

If all goes well, the new Pennsylvania T1 should be able to beat it. There are stories of the PPR T1's significantly beating Mallard's record, some say over 140 mph, but that the railroad was too busy to officially beat the record.

See https://prrt1steamlocomotivetrust.org for more info on the new Pennsylvania T1 locomotive that's being built.
