having just watched catchup of worlds most scenic rail journies - New Zealand where the train goes through Arthur’s Pass using 4x their fruit salad locos at 3300hp each, total 13,200hp....... having been on it - it’s very impressive.
I wondered what the UKs most powerfully booked passenger service in modern traction times has been (excursions aside), my guess would be in the early 70s when Euston - Glasgow services had a pair of 50’s booked north of Preston = 5400hp
Is the NZ combo the worlds best ? Or should that be asked on a different forum ?
