Articulateds are the largest steam locomotives ever built. Starting as slow speed monsters hauling heavy trains over mountain ridges, they became a regular feature of many of the big Class 1 railroads, handling everything from slow drag freights, to fast time freights, and even were able to pinch hit on passenger trains. Let’s look back at the history of these steam giants, and also observe what is running today.
