Bigger is NOT Better_ 5 Massive Locomotive Failures

YouTube Video Description (SEO-optimized & keyword-rich)
They said bigger is better... until the rails literally broke apart underneath them.
Here are 5 of the most catastrophic oversized steam locomotive failures in history – engines so massive, so over-engineered, and so disastrously impractical that they destroyed tracks, cooked their crews alive, and became national embarrassments.
In this video we uncover:

The Baltimore & Ohio N1 duplex that was retired in the middle of World War 2 because it was completely useless
The Victorian Railways E-class tank engine so hot the crew had to wear asbestos pants (yes, really)
The Tasmanian J-class that crushed every rail it touched
The stunning Pennsylvania Railroad S1 – the most beautiful steam locomotive ever built… that couldn’t turn around
The monstrous Soviet AA20-1 4-14-4 – the only one ever made, hidden for 30 years because it literally disassembled the railroad

From track-destroying behemoths to firebox ovens on wheels, these are the ultimate proof that sometimes bigger is NOT better.
