(Train for me) A CSX Transportation SD42 Locomotive-4200Hp, ah how sweet that was. It was actually more then that, there was also a Gp38-2 Loco hooked up to work with the SD42, so it more like 4200+3800=8000Hp!

That pretty cool, I love how they shake the ground without moving just from the engines. And I bet the tq is off the chart. Thats the way the airplane guys are. I can't remember the tq number off the top of my head but I want to say that they are about 6500ft/lbs.

I got to drive a buddies supra around for the day.......only on low boost but that was still 766rwhp!!! On high boost he had over 1100 to the wheels. It was terrifying at first but once you get over 100mph....it is unbelieveable!

Plane: KC-10 powered by 3 General Electric CF6-50C2 turbofans rated at 52,500 lbs of pulling force. climbing at 6,000 feet per minute in a 450,000 lb plane is a lot of fun.
