The Jaw Henry

[tao]

No idea about all the technical specs but it sure does look like one big train!


"N&W's freighter Jawn Henry had an automatically controlled water-tube boiler working at 600 PSI, weighed 409 tons, and was rated at 4500 h.p. (vs. 2400 for the biggest single-unit diesel). It put out 199,000 pounds of tractive effort, and could haul more tonnage on less fuel than conventional steamers, but at lower speeds. Jawn had a few bugs but performed well. It was the high first cost of production units (caused in part by the lack of interest from other roads) that left it an orphan. Jawn Henry was cut up in 1957."

I have no wish to sound pedantic but that is not a TRAIN because a train is what is hauled behind the Engine,
Oh do come on Jack where are you when we need you?

Yep, Shaun, it's the 'Locomotive' that tows the train. I sometimes feel that there's a loco motive for building model tanks too.. arggh..
