I agree to your thoughts as well. You will find in its blueprints the same craftsmanship. I kind of miss those days even though I know our advancement is most likely for the better.
Supposedly that locomotive has 66,000 lbs of traction (tractive effort) too. That's pretty darn good for a steam train. (At least the ones I've heard of) Woof! <3
