The Matt H. Shay, an example of one of the three triplex 2-8-8-8-2 steam locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive works for the Erie Railroad
[IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Erie_Railroad_Matt_H._Shay_2-8-8-8-2_locomotive.JPG[/IMG]

Baldwin also built a fourth triplex, a 2-8-8-8-4 for the Virginia Railway called the XA Class.

For comparison a Big Boy, which is considered to be the largest steam locomotive in the world, is a 4-8-8-4.

[QUOTE]The purpose of the Triplexes was banking[1] heavy trains over steep inclines, requiring high tractive effort, but low speed, over short distances.

The center set of cylinders received high-pressure steam. The exhaust from these was fed to the two other sets of cylinders, which were valved for low pressure.[1] The right cylinder exhausted into the front set of low pressure cylinders, and the left into the rear set; this is also why the high pressure cylinders have the same diameter as the low pressure ones, whereas most mallet locomotives have much smaller high pressure cylinders. The front set exhausted through the smokebox and the rear set exhausted first through a feedwater heater in the tender and then to the open air through a large pipe, which can be seen in the photo. Since only half of the exhaust steam exited through the smokebox, firebox draft (and thus boiler heating) was poor. Although the boiler was large (in line with contemporary two-cylinder and four-cylinder practice), six large cylinders demanded more steam than even such a boiler could supply.[1]

With all six cylinders operating at their full pressure (which could not be sustained for very long), the Triplexes produced huge amounts of tractive effort (TE) that may have been the highest of any steam locomotives before or since. (Westing[1] gives a figure of 160,000 pounds-force (710 kN) in compound mode and seems to indicate that it was the largest TE for any locomotive up to the time [1914-1916].) The Triplexes could also be considered the largest tank engines ever built since the tender had driving wheels as well and thus contributed to traction. The problem of variable adhesion on the tender unit was not a serious one, since pusher locomotives had frequent opportunities to take on additional fuel and water.[/QUOTE]

Beyond the Triplex there were also designs for quadruplex and quintuplex locomotives, none of which were built since the triplexes failed.

Oh god a lot of this would never work because a lot the middle part (mostly towards the west) is nothing but desert.

not too different from the election map though:

South Korea's top tourist attraction is the metro of it's capital city? Why even bother, eh?

Downtowns can be fun as hell, especially the night scenes and food scenes.

[EmperorScorpious]

Surprised Venezuela's biggest attraction is a beach instead of Angel Falls.

You can see a beach almost anywhere.

[Propane Addict]

Kinda wish they had split up the massive countries like Russia, Australia, Canada, USA, and China so we could see what the biggest regional attractions are. Considering that even split into quarters they would still be bigger than most countries.

Kind of disturbing that Central Park is somehow more attractive than the Grand Canyon.

it's probably just tripadvisor datamining themselves and extrapolating/inferring from the info.

Yep. Take Russia for example - the most popular attraction here is the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. Technically, it is a religious site but Russian Orthodox Church has no control over it, the city controls it.

[Firewarrior]

The map doesn't really seem to be about popularity, as the most popular ones in Germany would either be the Kölner Dom (free entrance) or Schloss Neuschwanstein (paid entrance).

No idea what it is. Handpicked favourite destinations?

[J.C.DentonUNATCO]

Yeah I find it hard to believe the biggest tourist attraction for Mexico is their National Museum of Anthropology. Even Central Park for the United States, I'd say New York as a whole is more of an attraction, you might walk through Central Park in 15 minutes and they're counting that or something.

Or how the temple of Karnak is "religious" while the Hagia Sophia is "historic" and the Acropolis is "tourist". It's really arbitrary.

I'm guessing they're using 'religious' for contemporary religions, which explains the Acropolis. The Hagia Sophia has been both a church and a mosque, but right now it's a museum.

Wait Karnak isn't contemporary

Yeah, okay, they're just inconsistent.

Direct drive turbine, because why not.

Supposedly at some point, PRR's lunacy department proposed a JJ1 with a Belpaire, which someone shopped together.

Apparently that's where they drew the line. The boiler would definately hit the front compressors and shit, and after 22 feet of tubes, no more heat makes it into the boiler anyway. So the boiler wouldn't be nearly that long. They put zero more work into it.

Edit:

And then there's the Commy's shit

14 wheeler. Did it work? Hell no. But that's the simple one

Steam/Diseel ICE combo, that uses steam on the backstroke, and injects diesel into the middle of the cylinder, which detonates during compression. Those two pistons then rock some arms, which link through rods to a jackshaft that drives the wheels. Why? Who fucking knows, but it gets worse.

[T]http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/russ/v8000.jpg[/T] [T]http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/russ/8000mech.gif[/T]

First, they tried refining it. It sucked too.

[T]http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/russ/TP1-1 a.jpg[/T]

Then they made it bigger, and added a bunch of jackshaft relays to accommodate the giant cylinders needed to combust anthracite gas instead of deisel. This did not help.

[T]http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/russ/v8001.jpg[/T] [T]http://www.aqpl43.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/russ/8001mech.gif[/T]

Then they said fuck it, crank it up to ten. And decided that the deisel combo that worked so well is the way to go, but with 8 cylinders, 8 crossheads, four rocking arms, four jackshafts and a load of other nonsense would make it better.

Boy did it ever not.

I mean it's facsinating to study, and it would've been beautiful to watch all that mechanical motion at work. But fucking hellfire, none of this makes any sense
