T&P 610 is the most brutishly beautiful locomotive in the land. Outside of maybe the 1218, the most significant modern steam locomotive left, and since it is Will Woodard's earliest surviving expression of super power concept, likely number 1.

Always struck me as having too long a trailing truck and too short of a cab. I do like the lines of the first 2/3rds of the engine though.

In my humble opinion, the C&O 3000's were the
finest TEXAS type ever. Too bad there all gone.

I guess you were having a wee moment and forgot about the Santa Fe 2-10-4 engines!
