Is that fast? Sorry, I guess I am not too impressed..In 1938, the British
steam LINER Class A4 4468 MallardI, with six coaches plus a dynamometer car
in tow, ran 126 MPH.

A much different car than the present streamliner, the Stanley Steamer, set
record at 127.659 MPH in 1906. I would think that the technology of today
would send them much faster.
