The Allegheny is 125-ft long, 11-ft 2-in wide, 16-ft 5 ½-in tall and weighs approximately 771,000-lbs. It could pull 160 coal cars, each with a 60-ton load, and if only pulling passenger cars, could run at 60 mph.
Held in Henry Ford Museum in Detroit.

That's pretty awesome. It also led me to this set of lists.

It's amazing how some of the ones on this list dwarf the 2-6-6-6 class.

Also, if you're in to locomotives, Steamtown USA in Scranton, PA is an awesome place to go. They have a Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 'Big Boy' there.

Might I just add that your username is fantastic, in a tormented reincarnation kind of way.

The Allegheny at the Henry Ford Museum is in much better condition than the one at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, which is currently stored outside in the yard.
