In Alvin Staufer’s B&O Power book there is an incredible photo of triple headed EM-1’s at West Farmington OH hauling coal on the Lake Branch. I can only imagine how the ground shook when they went past.

And here I thought those guys doing crazy double and triple headers with O Scale locomotives on Youtube were just flexing I saw a stationary Big Boy in Scranton, PA.....it's hard to comprehend three of ANY engine of comparable size pounding along. That's a lot of power in one spot. I can't believe the rails stay together.

I'm grateful for the internet and air conditioning but it would have been unbelievable to see three EM-1's move freight like that.
