Reply to "Nickle steel boilers - banned by the ICC. Why?"

In the early twenties, Lukens Steel rolled 3% nickel steel boiler plate for the Canadian Pacific Railroad, with 70,00 psi tensile strength specified.

 

This allow and increase in  operating boiler pressure from 200 psig to 250 psig, with a proportional gain in power.
