That’s a big train but keep in mind that this is poor engineering from the 1940s. That aren’t nearly as tough, strong, or powerful as the cars we are putting on the road today. If you put a souped up F250 vs this thing and let both get to their max velocity, the F250 would turn that thing into a crushed can in a head on collision.

I was in Cheyenne a couple of weeks ago when it started the journey to Omaha. It wasn't on display here, but it made the local news upon its journey to Omaha.

One ton? While efficient that’s not very effective
