@Matthew Gardner Until your last sentence the note maybe believable. With that it is fake... Safe rpm for steam lcomotive that size and era would be 320-360rpm. At 400rpm the danger of breaking moving parts grow. At 500rpm parts break for sure. Your 60mph equals 1120rpm with this Heisler...!!! Bullshit.

Last surviving engine of Mt Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railroad, last engine to be bought, and largest ever to be bought. It was never liked by them, however, and only ran for 4 years under them. Ironically, It had all sorts of awkward problems during its time there. Its rear axle would overheat at slower speeds, not faster, until salt was spilled on it, then it stopped. Then she spat 5 feet of fire out the stack whilst climbing the mountain so her smokebox was cherry red at the summit, until her flues were welded with an electric welder. It all stopped after that. Only one mechanic could make the engine behave, so it became his engine. Then one day, he got suspended after reaching 60 mph going downhill with it!
