Ed, we were sorta bouncing along about 40 mph through your neighborhood, but I do believe that you were caught in the act.   Look carefully at the small photo line, and then a horny red truck parked in the back.  

I think 425 holds the current US speed record for steam in the last 3 years.   I can't think of a faster engine right now.   Thanks to R&N good track and no particular steam speed restriction. 

Oh yeah....as usual a fine video.

Looks like only one of the cylinder cocks is opening on the engineers side on the Pacific ?.....the rear.

I at first thought the same thing. I looked closer at the video and it appears that there are two side by side and quite close. Maybe a plumbing change?

Nothing was changed. They are both working.

You had a balst Ed, wish I was lucky with that, I'm actually getting hungry for a steam excursion myself!
