Be careful Diana, you'll get me started again. LOL, glad you liked them, and just a short one this time. The old Steam Locomotives, in the 1890s, set a world speed record for that time, at well over 100 miles per hour. New Yory Central's old 999 was clocked at 112 mph in 1893. Jessie James never would have caught that train on a horse. Unlike the later diesel and diesel-electric engines, the Steam engine hardly had a speed limit, just how hot you could stand the fire, or until the boiler blew. er = blew. =20
