You haven't lived until you've had the chance to stand in the cinder ballast, out next to the track at 11 PM to hand up train orders to the brakeman on that beast.  A hundred cars later you get to repeat it for the brakeman in the waycar.  I had to do that often in the early 1950's at Concord, Illinois.

Not only did they have 2-10-4's, they had the BEST 2-10-4's in my not so humble opinion. The class M-4 which later became class M-4a were the acme of that wheel arrangement. There are hundreds of photographs of them available. I was lucky to have seen them in service. They left town with whatever you hooked to their drawbar and rode like Cadillacs. Anyone whoever fired or ran one said they were the very finest engines they knew. Some of the younger men who worked on them would call the SD-7's, "diesel M-4's".
