If you’re going to include the AN-225 (now smashed by the Sovi­et’s sec­ond inva­sion of the Ukraine in the last decade), where’s Stratolaunch?

How­ev­er, you can go back to the 1950s and the series of Union Pacific/GE “GTEL” Gas Tur­bine-based loco­mo­tives that even­tu­al­ly exceed­ed 8500 Horse­pow­er — noth­ing has ever topped that in self-pro­pelled loco­mo­tives (and only exter­nal-pow­er elec­tric ones have RARELY man­aged it in recent years).
Specif­i­cal­ly intend­ed to replace the Big Boys, as it happens.

Uh, he for­got his own Black Mar­lin — but it’s the same class as the Blue Mar­lin so per­haps he’s talk­ing that CLASS of ship?

Nice to see the old­er ones in their native 4x3 for­mat. I can’t watch them on dis­cov­ery chan­nel when they dis­tort them to fit 16x9 screens.

RIP Mriya But I hear there are enough parts to rebuild her hopefully!

So many “That’s what she said” opportunities.…

11:24 acci­dent­ly cough a U.F.O.

I was a heli­copter mechan­ic in the marine corp.. we called those big chop­pers shithooks.sorry1970,s terminology.

The print press one is fun­ny you see a 80 year old work­ing these machines like noth­ing but they get con­fused with iPhone smh 🤦‍♂️

That’s what she said

Sea­son 9 was from 2003…20 years ago. I won­der what would be the newest mega machines in 2023

isn’t it fun­ny how the great­est engi­neer­ing feat ever achieved was not doc­u­ment­ed at all, yes I’m talk­ing about the ISS. zero pic­tures, zero videos, zero doc­u­men­ta­tion of the asse­mem­bly done in space. I won­der why? And how in the world has it last­ed up there for this many years, don’t seals and o‑rings need replac­ing? They’re mov­ing unbe­lie­ve­able fast also. Does­n’t even seem pos­si­ble now that I think of it.

Big Boys, well, the engines DO NOT MOVE
in rela­tion to each oth­er. The for­ward part
of the loco­mo­tive’s frame piv­ots into the
turn.

If you would actu­al­ly “watch” the video,
BEFORE mak­ing com­ments, you just
might be believ­able. Come on, watch
the video you are pre­sent­ing. All you
have to do is watch, and nar­rate the
action.

If you are spout­ing things we can see,
on the video you nar­rate, and we can
see you are wrong, how can we trust
the things you say, that we can­not see?

Oh, Big Boy 4014 is a liv­ing, oper­at­ing,
loco­mo­tive! Biggest Steam loco­mo­tive,
cur­rent­ly pulling cars, and was also the
biggest loco­mo­tive built.

I believe the Indy Star shut down the huge print­ing press in Jan­u­ary 24.

The AN225 was fea­tured in the dis­as­ter movie 2012 rip😢😢😢

Wow love his­to­ry channel 😆

San­tos Dumont was the first, not the Wright broth­ers, you guys got­ta learn to deal with it
