[edit] Question

Is this an unordered list? What are the criteria? Weight, power, loaded weight with tender, length? Don't forget the 2-6-6-6. Rmhermen 22:44, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

The order is build date as near as I could tell. The intent is to list the locomotives that have been labeled as "Largest Locomotive in the World". I'll take a look at 2-6-6-6, and another look at one I added Monday, Southern Pacific class AC-12. Slambo (Speak) 14:21, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
This article still doesn't say what criteria are used - length, weight? Rmhermen 18:45, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electric trains?

There is an apparent lack of electric locomotives in the list, for example the swiss re 620, the swedish IORE and most possibly some additional engines have even more power per unit then those in the article.-Ssteinberger 23:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
