WITH 84" D. driving wheels and easily capable of 120 M.P.H., and pull 15 coaches and diners, and Pullman sleepers from Chicago to Milwaukee and Minneapolis to Saint Paul, in state of Minnesota next to the North Mississippi River, O.K.!!!!! But sadly 😥 all 6 of the 4-6-4's were Scrapped and destroyed in the 1950s, when EMD, and FAIRBANKS-MORSE Diesels arrived.
