    I believe it will.

    We just this year been touring the Big Boy which was a wartime Steam designed to carry big tonnage east upgrade at 50 plus. Number 4014 with the Union Pacific. It's going to be in El Paso Texas sometime October and pass through Arkansas back towards Cheyenne in Nov. It is currently the largest moving engine built by man on the planet about a million and half pounds US.

    The Titanic will put that engine to shame if they use coal to fire it as the original did.

    Interesting to read -> Russian locomotive class Ye - Wikipedia
    The last sentence says * Many other locomotives of this type are still stored on various reserve bases throughout the former USSR*. True.
    American engineering is the best, time tested and built to last !

    X1heavy: I love the 4014 big boy. I’ve been following that.

    It’s been a childhood interest of mine since I seen the big boy in books.

    As for titanic 2, I’ve read that it’s not going to be driven like the original of 1912.

    Supposed to be planned with azipods.

    Russia used to have jet powered trains; some are on YouTube.
