I like how those locos only have plows infront of the wheels.
It's the summer of 1948, and a Chesapeake & Ohio Railway K4 Class "Kanawha" steam locomotive prepares to leave the station with an unusual consist: mail-express train with coach tied behind tender. Although the Kanawhas were primarily freight engines, the C&O frequently used the K4s on passenger and express trains between Huntington and Hinton when other motive power wasn't available. The 2-8-4 locomotives were called the "Kanawha" type on the C&O in honor of the river which the rail line followed for many miles in Southern West Virginia. In case you're wondering here's how "Kanawha" is pronounced here in "C&O land."

Why does it have American rolling stock?

Cause it was selected to carry across the Great Divide the gun that will put an end to the dictatorship of a Tzar with the name Vladislav.
As you can see it doesn't have a driver, 'cause it was driven by the Destiny.

Yes. It is Avery - Drexel route, and the locomotive selected for the task is ukrainian.

as the thread title states ' everything steam' anything goes anywhere any time anywhere anyhow - I guess .
A "B&O-ized" version of Ben Neal's USRA Light 2-10-2 is taken out for its initial shakedown run following rebuilding in the Steam Soundz backshop.

Ben Neal put the Gmax source files for his USRA Light 2-10-2 on his website, so i just loaded them up in Gmax, did a little slicing and dicing, then put the pieces back together again in a slightly different way.
The B&O had two classes of 2-10-2 locos, the S class and the S-1 class. The USRA light 2-10-2 is closer in physical size to class S B&O locos, although both the S and S-1 class share a similar look with high mounted headlights and bells mounted high on one side of the smokebox.

Relax, dude. If I remember correctly, all the S1 sub-classes (a,b,c,s) used taller drivers (64") than the S class (58"), did they not?
My point was this -- the USRA Light 2-10-2 and the B&O S class 2-10-2 were about the same size physically, e.g., the drivers on the USRA Light were 57", the S class was 58"; driver wheelbase of both was 21 feet; and the engine wheelbase of USRA Light was 40.3 ft., the S class was 40.25 ft.
So, if you were going to use the USRA Light 2-10-2 as a reasonable "stand in" for a B&O 2-10-2, the older class S would be the one to try to represent, as the S1 class (and sub-classes) were noticeably larger locomotives. Both the S class and the USRA Light 2-10-2 were powerful, but rather s-l-o-w locomotives, while the S1 class and sub-classes were powerful and fast due to their taller drivers, larger boilers, etc.
Photo of S Class, #6006, in 1940, in Hyndman PA, below. Note the smaller drivers than the locos in your photos, above.
