The engine at Henry Ford is a C&O 2-6-6-6 - another big monster of an engine. Read a C&O book a few years back - the author believed that C&O misused those engines. They were made for fast freight service, instead C&O put them on coal drags. They did a fine job pulling coal trains but their true potential did not get reached like the UP did with their Big Boys.
