the p36: *HA! suckers*

[@garryferrington811]

Nice, but kind of sad seeing all the engines waiting to be scrapped.

[@saberistheway]

All of these have been in train parades recently so don’t worry…

[@railfanjordan8141]

There's a good amount of P36 4-8-4s in operation. Recently just found out one of them that's in this video (P36-0071 shown at the beginning of the video) was restored to operation. A lot of these engines, even the 4-8-4s that survived into the preservation era even after being in storage on those strategic reserves and used for other purposes still run excursions and come out for other events like locomotive parades

[@railfanjordan8141]

@@thesickrobot6924 The Russians referred them as 4-8-4s by the number of wheels instead of the number of axles compared to how European railroads do, but it does mean the same thing in the end

[@saberistheway]

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that Europeans counted the axles.
