Why Horsepower LIES: The Tractive Effort Masterclass (Big Boy vs. Allegheny)

Stop worshipping the dyno sheet. If you ask a tourist what the strongest steam locomotive in history was, they’ll point to the Union Pacific Big Boy because of its horsepower. But if you ask a master mechanic, you’ll get a very different answer. Why? Because in the world of heavy drag freight, horsepower is a lie. Horsepower sells sports cars. Tractive Effort moves mountains. Today, we are stripping away the museum paint and looking at the raw engineering. We are putting the two heaviest titans of the steam era—the Union Pacific Big Boy and the C&O Allegheny—into a head-to-head physics cage match. One was a media darling built for speed. The other was a forgotten monster built by Lima (pronounced Lie-ma) to drag the earth's crust. From the "Super Power" philosophy that defined the late steam era to the weight scandal that forced the C&O to lie to the federal government, we reveal why the "King of Steam" might actually be Number Two. 👇 The Verdict: On a 1.2% ruling grade with 10,000 tons on the hook, which engine do you want in front? The Big Boy or the Allegheny? Let me know in the comments. Copyright Fair Use Disclaimer: The material presented in this video is not exclusively owned by us.
