Joe-
If you just hit #3985 on YouTube (which I just did), you'll be AWASH in videos. I'm a sailor and ocean guy all the way----but I remember hiding in the shrubs alongside the tracks in midcoast Florida and having these beasts rip past at over 75 mph. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, quite like it!
My dad told me that these things weigh in the neighborhood of 500 tons! (Million pounds!?). He was born in 1899(!) and knew his stuff, so I'm guessing that is a true stat!
Chow,
