LOL! 'Rail Wars!!!' .... East vs the West.

Yes, The Big Boy is a great loco too as I like it. I also like the Challenger.

Both the big work horse moved millions of tons of freight and troops for the effort during WWII. Thank goodness we had them!!

Indeed they did. It can be argued that the Challenger was the world’s largest passenger locomotive, although it was designed primarily for moving fast freight.
