Plus, in the North east, at least, we are still using bridges, viaducts and tunnels that are 100 yrs or more old. The US Army Air Corps pretty much destroyed that stuff in Europe in 1944-45 and they got a whole bunch of our engines. RailPictures has photos of the European trains and I love to see them. Some of the engineering of bridges, tunnels etc is awesome but there engineering in Germany and other countries has been pretty good.
