Interesting commentary. What would be the effect of running better coal in the Challengers? Is there such a thing as too hot for the design, or would it just make them use less coal for the same output?

Sullied? "Sullied" you say??? Shoot it probably would have been the only chance that those beasts would have had to run on good coal, as was mentioned in the Railfan & Railroad article several years ago. Had they seen some use on the N&W they might have been named "Champ" not "Challenger."
