No, they dont make much thrust at all. They are measured in shaft HP. Which is about 5000 shp each turbine.

I know! A little expensive, but you really get a lot for the money.

This was a cool video showing all the different cars from the different railroads. Including the Pennsylvania Railroad, New York Central, and even the old Zepher.

As you can see I'm a history buff and trains were once a hobby of mine.

all that steam you see when they start moving is bypassing the pistons .. i think ... lol. Its the engineers job to not spin the wheels. its amazing how just steam pressure at 300 PSI can move all of that weight.

Prob a tad more than 300psi if its a oil fired burner, dunno if its still a fire in tube type boiler, but it should be able to get a tad more.
Still pretty crazy, steam power plants are pretty bad ass.

me too, I was into HO scale.
My father used to work for Pullman standard in Butler (pittsburgh area) making the hopper cars. I have a few Authern models of the cars he built that say "Butler, PA" on them.
