Reply to "Maximum Speed of Santa Fe Locomotives"

Thanks for posting Tom.  However, it looks like something's missing, which makes me curious.  In the 90 mph steam locomotive category, the only mention of 3765 Class engines is 3765 and doesn't list the rest of the class anywhere.  I know that 3765 had some differences from the rest of the class do to it originally being intended to be streamlined, but would the 90 mph limit apply to the rest of the class?  

 

That said, I was surprised that 3765 was limited to 90, and why wasn't he rest of the class be listed? 

 

I had always assumed the 3765 Class to possibly be the quickest of the ATSF Northerns.

 

From steam locomotive.com: "Together with the Union Pacific FEF series and the New York Central's Niagaras, these engines were the highest expression of ultra-long-distance passenger power in US service."
