Lol... Two. I have photos of plow trains pushing steam powered Rotaries to the tune of 6 or more locomotives - typically with the last engine facing backwards. This was because the tenders of these little tea kettles were lousy plows unto themselves and in the Colorado High Country snow can pile up pretty quick. So that last engine faced the opposite direction so that its pilot mounted butterfly could make way when the train needed to back up.Derrell Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14489276851661331648noreply@blogger.com
